FIGHTING FOR A PLACE FOR BLACK MEN AND WOMEN IN A WORLD OF RACIAL SELFISHNESS
Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting:
By this time the vicious and wicked opposition press has conveyed to you the news of my so-called conviction.
A VILE CONSPIRACY
I trust that you are quite mindful of the fact that my conviction is but the outcome of the conspiracy of years to destroy the hope of the black man for a place in the economic and political sun of human affairs. The fight I have made to place the black race securely among the races and nations of the world is one that I feel sure you black men will continue until we have completely succeeded in restoring our race to its ancient glory.
MILLIONS OF BLACK MEN TOGETHER
My heart bleeds within me to see the carelessness of the millions of black men who should have been together at this hour, working for our common emancipation and the redemption of our country, rather than being scattered as serfs, peons and dogs, outraged as we are by the prejudice of alien peoples and races. PROTECTION OF BLACK WOMANHOOD
Black men the world over, I am still appealing to you for the protection of our black womanhood. I have laid the foundation. For God's sake, see to it that a better and brighter future is guaranteed to the daughters of our race.
PLACING OUR BOYS AND GIRLS
I have tried to place our girls and boys, to open up for them better positions than were offered them in the scramble for a place among the underdogs. What I did was but a small beginning and an indication of the bigger work and service to be done, but I feel sure that you who have caught the vision will carry on until we have indeed lifted ourselves to the common standard of human progress.
THE SUFFERING OF OTHERS
You must take courage by my suffering, humiliation and sacrifice. Emmet, O'Connell, Casement and MacSwiney suffered for Ireland; Gandhi for India; Zaughoul for Egypt, and I am willing and glad to suffer for Africa. MEANING OF LEADERSHIP

sacrifice. The self-seeking and serving group of so-called Negro leaders who pay more attention to their comforts than to service to their race may laugh and glory over my imprisonment, which is but the outcome of part of their scheme, but the fools have not yet learned the course of leadership. The leadership that cannot suffer and die for a cause is false.
sacrifice.
IMPRISONMENT ONLY FOR RACE
As the world knows, I never for one minute would have been pained or confined if it were not for my service to my race. The history of my personal and private life will show no instance where I have ever committed a crime or had occasion to be imprisoned. All that I have suffered is because of my service to my race, and for this I have no regrets. So, when the selfish, self-seeking Du Boises, Pickenses and Weldon Johnsons and the rest glory over my imprisonment, which is but the result of a "frame-up," they show gross ignorance of the course pursued by real leaders in the cause of human liberty.
NEGROES TO SAVE THEMSELVES
I am praying that the fifteen million Negroes of America will speedily save themselves from the misrepresentation and misleadership of this class of self-seeking and selfserving men, and that the four hundred million of us will with one mind look toward the redemption of our common country, Africa.
ENEMIES MISTAKEN
The enemies have tried to humiliate me, but they are mistaken. They cannot humiliate
the souls and consciences of real men. The Jews when they crucified Christ and rated Him lower than a common thief did not humiliate Him as they thought, and so of the great leaders and reformers of all times. When the enemies thought they were humiliating them they were only showing to the world the nobler characters and souls of these individuals. CRYING FOR THE BODY OF MARCUS GARVEY
The Jewish District Attorney, who cried for my body, represented not the soul of great America and our grand and noble government, but the sinister elements of malice, jealousy, hatred and mob violence, when he cried out to the jury, "Gentlemen, will you let the Tiger loose?" This, as we know, is the language of the sinister and hypocritical National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the so-imagined political whip behind the District Attorney to "get and deliver Garvey."
LAUGHING AT OUR ENEMIES
We laugh at these enemies of justice, for they know not what they do. Let the soberminded millions of our race be as firm as Africa demands, and then we shall yet see black men and women elevated to power and be placed in positions to dispense justice to a selfish world.
SUPPORT FOR ORGANIZATION
I hereby ask each and every loyal member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to support the Committee of Management that I have named for the conduct of the affairs of the Association until the next International convention. The committee shall act jointly on all matters.
KEEP UP THE FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
Keep up the support for the organization and let the work go on ever faster and faster than before. We are bound to win out in the fight for African liberty. You must remember, however, that all cannot be done in a day. Let us look to the years ahead to crown our efforts with success. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be
SUBMITS TO HIS FATE STOICALLY, KNOWING HIS TEACHINGS WILL TRIUMPH
NAME OF MARCUS GARVEY WILL BE EMBLAZONED ON THE SCROLL OF HONOR IN THE HISTORY OF THE NEGRO RACE AS A MAN WHO GAVE HIS ALL FOR THE GOOD AND WILFARE OF HIS PEOPLE
His Words Will Ring True and Reverberate in the Ears of the Negro Peoples of the World; "I Do Not Regret What I Have Done for My People, Because I Did It From the Fullness of My Soul. I Did It With the Fear of My God, Believing I Was Doing the Right Thing. I Am Still Firm in My Belief That I Served My Race, My Conscience and My God"
Marcus Garvey Will Rise Like the Phoenix Yet, Soaring Triumphantly and Majestically, His Ideals Realized, His Ambitions Satisfied, His People Emancipated From Their Thralldom
Five years' imprisonment and a Still hear his voice keep ringing 'er fine of $1,000!

THE INDISPENSABLE WEEKLY
This was the sentence passed by Judge Julian Mack in the Federal Court of the Southern district of New York on Thursday forenoon, June 21, on Marcus Garvey, founder of and head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This is, however, not the final end of this tragic drama. An appeal will taken. And who knows, justice may yet triumph over law.
In the meantime, however, the activities of the man have necessarily been curtailed. But, the spirit that he has imbued in his movement for race pride and race uplift will flourish even greater than it has in the past. The bitter hatred shown against the man, the spite, the envy, the venom displayed, will find ex-
pression in a more claimed organization, will bring about the closing up of its ranks into a more solid mass, which will press forward with greater determination to reach the goal set by their indomitable leader. In spite of the gloating over in certain quarters of what is called the downfall of Garvey, the movement will not fail, but, in the words of the greatest Negro poet of America, those who are loyal to him and the principles he strove for will

And, rising from beneath the chas-

The spirit of Marcus Garvey shone out clearly when, facing the jury that was to decide against him, he made this eloquent, moving, manly appeal:
"I stand before you and this honorable court for your judgment, and I do not regret what I have done for the Universal Negro Improvement Association; for the Negro race, because I did it from the fullness of my soul. I did it with the fear of my God, believing that I was doing the right thing. I am still firm in my belief that I served my race, my people; my conscience and my God. I further make no apology for what I have done. I ask no mercy. If you say I am guilty, I go to my God as I feel, a clear conscience and a clean soul, knowing I have not wronged even a child of my race or any member of my family. I love all mankind. I love Jew, Gentile; I love white and black. I have respect for every race. I believe the Irish should be free; they should have a country. I believe the Jew should be free and the Egyptian should be free, the Italian and the Poles. I believe also that the black man should be free. I would light for the freedom of the Jew, the Irish, the Poles; I would fight and die for the liberation of 400,000,000 Negroes. I expect from the world for Negroes what the world expects from them."
Truly it was for his race, not for himself, he spoke, and time will yet give him his rightful place among those who have fought and have suffered and have died for a great cause.
The trial of Marcus Garvey and the other officers of the Black Star Line has been concluded, and the trial itself as well as the verdict arrived at will be an historic land-
mark marking an epoch in the advance of the Negro race in America. The verdict came as a big surprise after the judge's charge. Few in the courtroom felt when the twelve men retired to reach a decision that they would be out for any length of time. But as the afternoon wore on and the shades of night enveloped the scene the feeling of certainty gave way to one of anxious expectation and no end of speculation.
The building had been cleared of Garveyites, as no emotional outburst either for or against the principal defendant was wanted. Still, the situation was intensely magnified with the demonstration of force by the authorities to guard against an exceedingly remote contingency. The most rabid Garveyite would hardly have been so crazy as to attempt anything like violence. In fact, those who know the Negro best know that beyond wild gesticulations and frothy, meaningless talk, their demonstration would go no further. The authorities felt, however, that every precaution should be taken to protect the judge, the jury and the prosecutor. And they took the occasion to make their display of power.
The verdict was returned at 10.30 Monday night. Marcus Garvey was found guilty on the third count of the second indictment, to wit, selling stock after he knew the Black Star Line was a failure. The other defendants were acquitted.
The news, fell like a heavy blow on Garvey's supporters. Some were not altogether unprepared for it, for they felt that the trial was really for the purpose of removing from the path politic a Negro who was gaining and obtaining too much power. And the verdict would indicate that their view was right.
The question of moment just now is. Will the removal of Marcus Garvey from the scene have the effect of breaking up the organization founded by him? Can the Universal Negro Improvement Association weather the storm without the pilot, the master-mind, that has held the helm through stress and fair weather all these years? Will there be a dissolution, a disintegration, of the forces that have brought into being and held together the most powerful Negro organization in the world? That is a question for the leaders in the organization; and if they are to be judged by their utterances in the past they will leave no stone unturned to keep together the institution and to remove the superfluous knobs and excreences that in the past have hindered its expansion on right lines. It is a critical moment for the organization. Will the man arise capable of coping with the difficulties of the situation, capable of smoothing out the intricate position the ship is now in, capable of solving the big problems that must firmly be grappled with and of holding together the membership and the branches throughout the world. History teaches for the most part the man of the moment is generally forthcoming when the critical time arrives: It is up to the members of this organization to carry on and, from the mistakes of the past, to emerge a more powerful and useful rage organization, commanding the respect of the world.
The Closing Scene
The jury retired at 12:22 and at 3:22 o'clock made a request for the balance sheet and the first financial report of the company. Time dragged heavily along the evening shadows began to descend, while all who had interest in the proceedings munched sandwiches and paced the corridors nervously. Below in the street a large crowd had gathered, which, as the evening wore on, forced itself into the ground floor section of the building. Garveyes and anti-Garveyes taxed to its utmost capacity the small space allotted by the postal authorities, who control that section of the building.
In the Jury Room
In the jury room the men with coats off—the weather was pretty close—were debating as to the guilt or innocence of one or more or all of the defendants as the learned Judge had charged in the forecounn. It was a long wait, and, fearing that they would like to have some point cleared up from a legal angle, Judge Mack at 9.30 p.m. came over from his chambers in the Woolworth Building across the street, and, flanked by Secret Service mbs, sent for the jurors. In his lucid style he told them he was anxious to help them and inquired if he could be of any service. He had no desire to know how they stood in the matter, but appealed to them to approach the case in the deepest humility and be guided by their conscience, weigh the evidence and return a verdict accordingly. Human nature was weak and vacillating, and although he was not suggesting what course the jurors should take, each juror should not allow pride of opinion to override logical reasoning.
ing his application for ball, and to keep the prejudice created against him going. He would secure the court that rather than incite the people to violence, the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association were taught to and would defend the Constitution of the United States, for the Negro peoples of the world would not get away from the fact that these United States were the greatest friends of the race.
Then Mr. Garvey apologized for any remark that he might have made after the jury's verdict which he said might be interpreted as an insult to the court. That was the farthest thing from his mind. He had no regret for suffering for the great cause he was fostering, as he felt: sanguine that the great work would go on despite his impending sentence.
Mr. Mattuck said that he had evidence to debut Mr. Garvey's statement about the African Legion, if the court so desired.
Judge Mack declined to hear any testimony along these lines and, getting down to the kernel of the occasion, declared he was very glad the defendant Garvey had made the statement he had to the court. He fully realized the position the defendant was in and was convinced that if he let loose any remarks that were not pleasant it was more from excitement than from a desire to insult the court. When a man acts as his own lawyer, although he may say and do things that tax the patience of the court to its utmost limit, the court never does take offense. Proceeding, the learned judge said he had given the matter his most serious consideration since the jury returned its verdict, giving thought on the one hand to the aims and objects of the defendant in starting the Black Star Line, and also on the other hand to the great financial loss to investors. The motives which actuated him might have been of the highest, they may have been made solely for the betterment of his race without a thought of personal aggrandizement, but it is immaterial what his views were. The jury was evidently justified in taking cognizance of the fact that even after the concern was found to be insolvent this defendant had continued to sell stocks and put more money into a business that was known to be falling. The man would have been a different one if they had made the people know that the concern had gone bad, or was going bad, when they were carrying on these sales of stocks. Then on the face of true representations it would have been for the investors to determine whether they would buy stock or not.
Mr. Mattock asked that the maximum penalty be inflicted and in response to His Honor said that he had no objection to Mr. Garvey serving his sentence at a place other than Atlanta, Ga. He, remised the court to get the Attorney-General's permission, as the law specifically mentioned Atlanta.
A dead silence then pervaded the room, as Judge Mack leaning back in his chair, said in slow and measured tones: "I direct that the defendant, Garvey, be imprisoned in the penitentiary at Atlanta for a term of five years, and pay a fine of $1,000, and that opportunity be given such defendant on application to serve his sentence in a place other than Atlanta, Ga.
Attorney Kohn moved that the prisoner be admitted to bail, pending an appeal, remarking that Mr. Garvey was not a criminal, had never been connected with any crime of violence, and at its worse the charge was only one of commercial fraud for which in his legal experience bail in case of the kind had never been denied. We have reasons to believe, Mr. Kohn continued, that this judgment will not stand. Garvey was known over the world wherever the sun rose and set.

Returning the Verdict
The jury retired to debate, and at 10.30 fled into court and announced they had agreed upon a verdict.
In response to the clerk the foreman said they had found the defendant Garvey guilty on the third-count of the second indictment and the co-defendants Garcia, Tobias and Thompson not guilty on all counts in both indictments. The trio was accordingly discharged.
Mr. Kohn (counsel for Garvey) moved that the verdict be set aside, as if was against-the weight of evidence and contrary to law.
His Honor overruled, and after thankening the jurors for their services excused them from jury duty in the Federal court for four years.
Mr. Kohn asked that sentence be deferred and Mr. Garvey he admitted to the same bail in the sum of $5,000.
Mattuck Opposes Bail
Mr. Mattuck vigorously opposed any such course of action, declaring that if ever Garvey was a menace to the community and a dangerous person to be at large that time was now. He had purposely kept it back from the jury, but the government had information that the m寡he of the U. N. I. A. were diverted into channels for the purchase of guns and ammunition and his African Legion was being drilled at Liberty Hall. He was certain that this African Legion would go to any extent to protect Marcus Garvey.
Mr. Garvey: May I say something, your Honor?
Judge Mack: Yes. You may.
Mr. Garvey: For the District Attorney to say that is wicked, and false and malicious.
His Honor remarked that from recent happenings he was inclined to place some credence in Mr. Mattuck's statement.
Mr. Kohn: Are you prepared to support what you said with evidence?
"Yes," Mr. Mattuck responded, his face booming with smiles.
It was at this juncture Mr. Garvey approached the Federal prosecutor and alluded to him as a "jew crook," expressing that he, Garvey, was prepared to sacrifice anything for the cause he was seeking to further. "I am prepared to suffer," he thundered. "I will die for liberty."
Judge Mack said that he would allow two days for Mr. Garvey to wind up his affairs under the supervision of a government agent and that sentence would be pronounced on Thursday.
Mr. Garvey embraced his wife for a period, but the leaveaking was cut short as Secret Service and Bomb Squad men hustled him away to the Tombs.
Meanwhile Tobias and Garcia, accompanied by their wives—women who had stuck by their side throughout the entire proceedings—took great care to increase the distance between themselves and the court building. Thompson followed suit, but his wife was absent, and he found relief from the severe strain in the company of his lawyer and another faithful friend.
Detailed Report
At the hour set for the passing of sentence, the court room was crowded with both sympathizers and opponents of Garvey, and, as the irony of fate would have it, Garcia, who was co-fendant, was a spectator on this occasion. Tobias was conspicuous by his absence, while Thompson, thinking discretion the better part of valor, sailed for some other country the morning of the day after the trial to start life now. Guarded by three marshals and maneuvered to one, the defendant was escorted into the court room to await the arrival of Judge Julian Mack, who took his seat a few minutes after. Mr Garvey greeted his wife, who took up a position behind him, had a conference with his lawyers, and then dived into his newspapers after signing some documents which his lieutenants had presented for his attention. If anyone showed signs of nervousness or cowardice it was not Garvey; fear certainly is foreign to the man. He conversed freely when the occasion and seemed to have been the least concerned about the consequence.
On the judge's arrival, the clerk announced-Marcus Garvey for sentence, and in response the defendant, flanked by his lawyers, advanced a few paces.
What He Had to Say
Asked if he had anything to say, Mr. Garvey immediately took steps to contradict the statement of the government attorney on Monday night when he asserted the money of the U. N. I. A. was being used to buy munitions and guns for the African Legion. He declared that such a statement was made solely for the purpose of defeat-

Judge Mack: Does extradition cover the cases?
Mr. Mattuck replied in the negative and Judge Mack directed the defendant's attorneys to have a bill of exception filed at the earliest possible moment so that the matter may be rushed to a judge of the Circuit Court.
A Stay Is Granted
Mr. Kohn asked for a stay of execution and Mr. Mattuck registering no objection it was granted. Mr. Mattuck, however, asked that the court direct defendant to cease issuing any inflammatory matter from his prison cell, as he would be compelled to ask the court to deal with the offending newspaper that publishes his articles?
Judge Mack said that he had received a copy of the Negro World. But out of fairness to defendant he had not read it yet.
Mr. Garvey said that he would not write any inflammatory articles, had never written and didn't intend to write any, but would not give any guarantee that he would for a moment surrender his opinions or give up his personal convictions.
Garvey received his sentence with
the same amount of calm and stoicism that he has shown throughout the trial. Counsellor Matthews' Address to the Jury for Tobias
Following is the full text of the address to the jury by Counsellor Matthews on behalf of the defendant George Tobias, treasurer of the Black Star Line, who was acquitted.
May it please the Court, Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of the Jury: After about twenty-nix days of trial of this case we have come to the place where we are going to try to lay before you all the facts as they have been drawn out by the evidence. In order that you might determine from this evidence whether the defendants, and the defendant Tobias in particular, are guilty as charged.
These defendants are charged under two indictments: The first indictment of about eight counts was drawn on the 15th of February, 1927, and sets forth in at least seven of its counts that the defendants dailed a scheme to gain certain persons, whom this indictment calls victims, who had invested their money in Black Star Line stocks. This indictment charges that Marcus Garvey, George Tobias, Elie Garcia and (Continued on page 5)

ANENT MARCUS GARVEY
a decade ago Marcus Garvey founded the Anti Improvement Association, its aim of a sleeping black race from inane slum mental and economic serfdom; awakenership exalt it; turn its now blurred possibilities of African Redemption, all by black peoples under black leadership task; a Herculean task, but Marcus Garvey, undaunted, halted, the press, combined to defeat his efforts in the plausibility of his program. A sage, Taunts, everywhere, mud, much musted man must have fled even from his finally appeared. Some for gain, some and some for another. The Movement became established in every part of the world. One Garvey then, countless Garveyous program—the Liberation of a racist. Yet such had been achieved by man has done man can do, irrespective of smiled, then looked concerned. The gun to convince them of his inflexible need sincerity. He believed in himself.
Warmouth steamed up Harlem River the day do! The blacks are about to awake of Marcus Garvey began to grow a bigger one? was heard in the Philistine camp the enemy placed his emissaries, training grew. He was accused of stealing a sexual weapon, the last resort of coward people refused to be turned aside, the stunt impetus. The heathen raged and we vain things. Where Genius is, Environment of the Land was brought into the maelstrom composed of deserters, strife but are too cowardly to show the sector of old, Marcus Garvey with the fury of a wild boar, chafed with such client to crush a god, met his fate comes.
fate calmly and why? Years ago he heated on this very thing; because his total of four, hundred million blacks; because mean the destruction of civilization; and women something far, far more, they had ever had. He had done his work.
The peace which surrounds those who know Marcus Garvey, believe him guilty, did it was because he thought it right. Change this belief. He erred perhaps, but might else. But he defrauded no one, he too busy doing good. Garvey did not lose his case! He won it serious. The greatest black man of the past before him has suffered such torture. God bless Marcus Garvey! He has seen Garvey in chains is a spectacle to make stricter Garvey in jail is a sight calculated, chains nor prison bars cannot daunt. It is beyond the power of man to do the world, he stands forth—a hero. Of the race. A man, a man's man—is My body is in prison, his soul is free, a forth clad in all his virtue. Be it that man, be it that he is destined to sink benefit in task, at such a time, he is no longer ever happens, we believe in Marcus. Through it, Africa shall be redeemed.
Marcus Garvey, we, your supporters, well, until your return! We, who believe shut you from our view—salute you!
HALF a decade ago Marcus Garvey founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association, its aim being the arousing of a sleeping black race from inane slumber; to liberate it from both mental and economic serfdom; awaken its age-old capacity for leadership; exalt it; turn its now blurred vision towards the splendid possibilities of African Redemption, all of which to be accomplished by black peoples under black leadership.
A man's task; a Herculean task, but Marcus Garvey with the inspiration of Ancient Ethiopia in his soul addressed himself to the task. Those who beheld this spectacle cried, "Dreamer, fanatic, schemer, faker." Marcus Garvey, undaunted, halted not. Members of his own race, the press, combined to defeat his efforts, at the same time admitting the plausibility of his program. A sea of difficulties confronted him. Taunts, everywhere, mud, much mud hurled at him. A less determined man must have fled even from himself.
Disciples finally appeared. Some for gain, some for glory, some for one thing and some for another. The Movement waxed strong and grew. It became established in every part of the world habited by black peoples. One Garvey then, countless Garveys now.
A stupendous program—the Liberation of a race, the Redemption of a continent. Yet such had been achieved by man, even black men. What man has done man can do, irrespective of color. The world laughed, smiled, then looked concerned. The man Marcus Garvey had begun to convince them of his inflexible determination and questioned sincerity. He believed in himself, his race, his program.
When the Yarmouth steamed up Harlem River the enemy cried, "This will never do! The blacks are about to awake." From that day the troubles of Marcus Garvey began to grow apace. "How can we chain the Tiger?" was heard in the Philistine camp. Within his own household the enemy placed his emissaries, traitors flourished. Yet the Movement grew. He was accused of stealing the peoples' money. The usual weapon, the last resort of cowards when facing defeat. The people refused to be turned aside, the stream increased in volume and impetus. The heathen raged and would have the people imagine vain things. Where Genius is, Enty rears its head.
The Government of the Land was brought into the stream to join force with the maelstrom composed of deserters, craven cowards, and those who strike but are too cowardly to show their hands. But fighting like Hector of old, Marcus Garvey with the courage of an African lion and the fury of a wild boar, chafed with sweat, overcome by a force sufficient to crush a god, met his fate courageously and like the man he is.
He met his fate calmly and why? Years ago he had counted the cost and calculated on this very thing; because his ideal had now become the ideal of four, hundred million blacks; because to root up this ideal would mean the destruction of civilization; because he had given black men and women something far, far more worthwhile to live for than they had ever had. He had done his work well. Peace clothes his soul. The peace which surrounds those who know their work secure.
We, who know Marcus Garvey, believe him guilty of no wrong. Whatever he did it was because he thought it right. No power in the world can change this belief. He erred perhaps, but being human, he could do naught else. But he defrauded no one, he robbed no one, his hands were too busy doing good.
Marcus Garvey did not lose his case! He won it! For in defeat he stands victorious. The greatest black man of the age! What member of his race before him has suffered such tortures of Hell, and for his race? God bless Marcus Garvey! He has just begun to fight.
Marcus Garvey in chains is a spectacle to make strong men how themselves. Marcus Garvey in jail is a sight calculated to make the gods weep. And, chains nor prison bars cannot daunt the man, or stain his cause. It is beyond the power of man to do either. To the black people of the world, he stands forth—a hero. Its leader, the greatest leader of the race. A man, a man's man—is Marcus Garvey. Though his body is in prison, his soul is free, and clean. In chains he stands forth clad in all his virtue. Be it that the palm of the victor awaits him, be it that he is destined to sink beneath the weight of his Herculean task, at such a time, he is no longer man, but a demi-god. Whatever happens, we believe in Marcus Garvey. His work shall go on. Through it, Africa shall be redeemed, as surely as God lives.
Worry not, Marcus Garvey, we, your supporters, will "carry on," in spite of all Hell, until your return! We, who believe in you as the prison doors shut you from our view—salute you!
THE VOICE OF REASON

WHILE there is so much discussion of the Black Star Line pro and con, it is advisable to listen to "the Voice of Reason." This voice was heard in a recent editorial of the Baltimore Afro-American. In the course of an editorial, the writer stated:
people will discern in the pending world final that 'His Majesty, the Provisional President of Africa', in hiding in New York.
"The one outstanding fact in the whole debate, however, is that it was possible to organise such a colossal movement. Never in the history of the world has a Negro arisen with the ambitions of Garvey. Toussaint L'Ouvverture sought to free a group of his countrymen. Denmark Vessey struck for the freedom of American slaves; but Garvey's ambition embraced the Negro world. The fact that so many colored people could be interested in such a movement is significant."
So in any discussion of the man Martús Garvey, it is advisable to recall his contribution to Negro civilization—the idealistic movement known as the U. N. I. A.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF MARCUS GARVEY
By WILLIAM M. FERRIS, A. M.
Author of "The African Abroad."
At present Marcus Gayvey is discussed pro and con. He is not yet forty years old and yet judgment is being pronounced upon his life work. Usually a man is estimated by the sum total of his deeds and achievements. But this is only a superficial estimate of a man. It only records the ideals, ideas, and dreams that a man has been able to objectify and incarnate in tangible form. A deeper insight into a man's mind and character is gained by discovering what he tried to do and what were the thoughts and ideas that dominated him.
And while persons are discussing the practicability and feasibility of the industrial projects of Marcus Garvey it might be well to read a little book of some 100 pages, entitled "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey," edited by Amy Jacques-Garvey, because it gives an insight into the motive force and basic ideals of the man.
Reference has been made twice in The Negro World to the splendid manner in which Mrs. Garvey has edited the attractive book, which also contains the pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Garvey. In 102 pages she has compressed fourteen pages of Mr. Garvey's views on forty-seven different themes—social, racial, and political; his emancipation speech, his Christmas message, his Easter sermon his convention speech, and his statement on his arrest. This book contains the most thoughtful passages of Mr. Garvey's feature letters and numerous addresses. It admirably represents the man's thoughts concerning life's supreme issues. We will cull a few passages so that the reader can get an insight into the heart of a man who has launched a world movement.
In his "Dissertation on Man." Mr Garvey says:
"When God breathed into the nostrils of man the breath of life, made him a living soul and bentowed upon him the authority of 'Lord of Creation.' He never intended that that individual should descend to the level of a peon, a serf, or a slave, but that he should be always man in the fullest possession of his senses and with the truest knowledge of himself."
"In 'The Function of Man,' Mr Garvey says, 'after speaking of Edition, Stephenson, and Marconi,' 'all this reveals to us that man is the supreme lord of creation, that in man lies the power of mastery, a mastery of self, a mastery of all things created, bowing only to the Almighty Architect in those things that are spiritual, in those things that are divine.'"
In the "Divine Appointment of Eatrich" Mr. Garvey says: "God Almighty created all men equal, whether they be white, yellow or black, and for any, race to admit that it cannot do what others have done is to hurt insult at the Almighty, who created all races equals in the beginning.
"The white man has no right of way to this green earth; neither the yellow man. All of us were created lords of creation, and whether we be white, yellow, brown or black, nature intended a place for each and every one."
In the "Purpose of Creation" Mr. Garvey says: "The man or woman who has no confidence in self is an unfortunate being and is really a misfit in creation.
"God Almighty created each and every one of us for a place in the world, and for the least of us to think that we were created only to be what we are and not what we can make ourselves is to impute an improper motive to the Creator for creating us."
In "Man Know Thyself" Mr. Carvey says: "For man to know himself is for him to feel that for him there is no human master. For him nature is his servant, and whatsoever he wills in nature, that shall be his reward. If he wills to be a pigmy, a sort or a slave, that shall be be. If he wills to be a real man in possession of the things common to man, then he shall be his own sovereign."
One, of the most suggestive essays in this interesting book is "The Three Stages of the Negro in Contact With the White Man." The first stage in slavery; the second stage, emancipation. Then Mr. Garvey says: "Now we have entered into the third stage of our existence, wherein we say to the white man, 'After two hundred and fifty years of slavery and fifty-eight years of partial freedom and your leadership, we are going to try out fifty years under our own direction.'" "This new stage calls for all the manhood within the race, and means that we must throw off all the conditions that affected us in the first and second stages and go out and do—acquire ourselves like man in the economic, industrial and political arena." These quotations, give the reader an idea of the idealistic, impatient which were back of and behind his movements. Later will take up in detail "The Opinions of Marmus Garvey."
GARVEY COMMENDS - HIS WIFE TO THE CARE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE U. N. L A.
To the Members and Friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association:
I take this opportunity to return thanks to you for the splendid interest you have manifested in me during the trial of my case.
I bear with me the kindliest feelings toward you. I command to your care and attention, my wife, who has been my helpmate and inspiration for years.
She has suffered with me in the cause of service to my race, and if I have any sorrow, it is only on her account, that I cannot be alongside of her at all times to protect her from the evil designs of the enemy, but I commend her to your care and keeping and feel that you will do for her as much as you have done for me.
Her tale of woe has not been told, but in my belief that truth will triumph over wrong. I feel sure that a day will come when the whole world will know the story of her noble sacrifice for the cause that I love so much. With very best wishes.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE U. N. I. A.
The following resolutions unanimously passed by the Executive Council and the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at a meeting held last evening speak for themselves: New York City, June 19, 1922. Resolved. That we, the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and all and singular its branches, at a due and regular meeting thereof, do hereby reaffirm our faith in and loyalty to Hon. Marcus Greyley our leader and friend, and declare that in all of his dealings we not only believe but we know him at all times to have been absolutely and scrupulously honest and has never defrauded us of a single penny.
Resolved further. That in added measure we reaffirm our faith in and loyalty to our leader, now that he is in fall, and we pledge that we shall devote ourselves to our very last effort to secure by every lawful and honorable means that which he, in our opinion, is entitled to; that is to say, his liberty, of which for the moment he stands deprived.
Resolved. That we further still commit ourselves to the proposition that, while exerting our utmost endeavors to secure the liberty of our leader, we each and severally, pledge obedience to the constituted authority, and that we each and severally, shall observe the law and keep the peace, and shall cooperate with the peace officers in keeping peace.
Resolved. That we resent the insignation of the press and especially the Evening Post of June 15, 1823, that there has been any organized or unorganized opposition to the courts of the land or its officers or any preparation on our part for armed resistance to the orderly process of the court and the administration of justice. We deeply deplore the fact that any misguided person or persons may have uttered threats against the constituted authorities in behalf of Marcus Garvey or this association, for we know full well that it has neither his sanction nor ours, and we pledge ourselves to do all in our power to maintain law and order, and to co-operate with the duly constituted authorities in that regard.
G. O. MARKE, Supreme Deputy.
W. L. SHERRILL, Second Assistant President-General.

The next presidential campaign from all indications will be dominated along lines that will give an extended apallinder pause. Every year, he is becoming more and more complacent by his absence as an expander of party principles and a vote gutter. The broadcasting radio and speaker car, with its mammoth amplifiers, making it possible for thousands to hear campaign oratory at great distances, are to play an important part in the coming national campaign. Mr. Frank Munsey and Mr. William Randleph Heart are buying up all the principal newspapers in the doubtful and sure states. And these journal's news and opinion under the guiding and restraining influence of these journalistic Warwicks will create and crystallize the political sentiment in the communities where they circulate.
Centralized journalism in this country will make its power fail in the forthcoming presidential campaign as effectively as the big department store does among the small retailers, who cannot cope with them for public patronage. The centralization of the press of America which is going on gradually has an ominous aspect and means that in a very few years a dozen or so big-monied publishers will be the creators of the public sentiment, which will govern and control in this country. The big fish are catching up the little fish with avidity and astounding veracity. Sooner or later national political conventions, will be abolished entirely and the wishes of the electorate as to whom it wants for president, vice-president and U. U. senators and representatives in the Congress, ascertained by radio, and the result recorded in a card system established by government at Washington or New York. This is the electrical age, the day of wonders, air ships, and big newspapers, owned or controlled by big banks, or other financial agencies, that mark out the boundaries, habitations and limitations of the little folks, who are squeezed to supply the oil to gun the machinery.
The political outlook for the colored brethren depends on the gravity of the inlook, and the inlook just now is not exactly pleasing. The Tuskegee Hospital incident is one item on the agenda which is not at all pleasing to the thoughtful and observant among us. Tuskegee is the best place on earth for the establishment by this government of a hospital of the character of that designated by the administration for the use of Negro ex-soldiers. Any institution carrying a large appropriation and established in the South for the use and benefit of Negroes is bound to have hard sledding where there are hungry white men, relics of the decayed aristocracy of that section, who are now willing to support the Constitution, sign the pay roll, and actually draw the salaries provided. It would have been infinitely better for the colored race if this hospital had been located in one of the Sixties side of the line, like West Virginia or Pennsylvania. No self-respecting Negro physician is going to the Tuskegee harracks to be Jim-crowed and otherwise insulted. It really looks as if there was method in the madness of the inventors of this Tuskegee Negro hospital scheme. Well,
MARCUS GARVEY GUILTY
Proved Himself Absolutely Innocent of Dishonesty
The entire world is now informed of the conviction of Marcus Garvey and the world also knows that Garvey is an honest man—and only convicted on one count of defrauding. Mr. Garvey proved to the satisfaction of the court and the world at large that he is not a spineless leader, nor an ignorant one, in the forceful, logical and courageous manner in which he conducted his trial. We believe however, that that was Mr. Garvey's biggest blunder. Had he been an admitted lawyer we doubt the verdict would have been guilty. The courage of the man in face of the inevitable results which were bound to follow has filled his followers with indescribable determination. Mr. Garvey was the victim of circumstances in that whatever he has done through his organization was for the greatest good for the greatest number of his race. It was a misdeed of the head and not of the heart. At least he has satisfied the longings of his enemies to get him, and we hope this whetted appetite for allegiance will be satisfaction to all of them. Let not this sort of thing happen again, as the race at large is held up to ridicule and receives more damage than the individual. The Tattler sympathizes with Mr. Garvey—and any race man who has to suffer thereby for his ideals of racial uplift. We are free from animosity—and since Mr. Garvey proved himself to be an honest man, we admire him more for his courage. His work will undoubtedly live and grow, as a recognition of his worth and appreciation to his followers.—Hotel Tattler.
CARD OF THANKS
I desire to take this medium of
thanking the friends and well-wishers
(both white and colored) of my husband
for their letters, cablograms, telegrams and expressions of sympathy sent me during his incarceration in the Touma in New York City. $\textcircled{1}$
I further desire to assure my husband's sympathizers that I am using and emitting every effort within the key to effect his release from jail pointing the appeal.
It is going to work, simply by the Negro proclaimed union of the North East and West, and I could believe that many thousands of them are going to joiny Tunkagerward in the crew Bryan, or allow themselves to be impounded within the narrow limits of the Tunkagerave restoration simply because somebody high in authority has caused to be established at that place a hospital for Negro ex-soldiers. The inioh, therefore, is not pleasant to gaze on in this particular direction. There are other items on the agenda, but the wisdom of prudence suggests that discussion of them be held in abeyance for the present.
The World Court chatter, of which a great deal is heard just about now, is really pre-election chatter and evidently is meant to divert attention from the real issues upon which Mr. Harding will go before the country next year and which he has not yet disclosed. Practical gamblers and far-sighted politicians, I am told, never play, their trump cards until the moment arrives for the trump card to be played. The World Court issue is plain bunk. The Democrats bit at it, like it and were beginning to annex Mr. Harding as their standard-bearer in 1924, but they are not so keen about Harding and the World Court stuff as they were when it seemed so real, and so, in keeping with the Wilsonian Democratic Ideals, Mr. Harding, having eyes to see and ears to hear, has used these organs to his political advantage since hearing from his neighbors all over the country, and will goveen himself accordingly.
A particularly dirty piece of newspaper work was done by the New York Herald in its issue of June 13 instate when in a front-page article it, by inference, characterized the whole membership of the U. N. I. A. as murderer plotting against the lives of Judge Mack. District, Attorney Mattuck and the jury that tried Marcus Garvey for alleged fraudulent use of the mails, and giving as its authority anonymous writers. It should be remembered that the trial of Mr. Garvey, was still in progress and that docent journalistic ethics should have suggested the suspension of any expression of opinion, criminal or favorable, to defendant at bar until his guilt or innocence had been determined by a jury of white men (not his peers). The New York Herald is a powerful and influential newspaper, and I hardly think it would have treated any white defendant at bar as it did Marcus Garvey and his organization by attempting to poison and prejudice the mind of the trial judge, the District Attorney, the jury and the public in an attempt to create the impression that he and the members of his organization are potential murderers. It was a dirty, contemptible, malicious and cowardly thrust, coming, as it did from one of New York's leading newspapers, which in its infancy was not above accepting loans from a wealthy Negro to keep in existence.
I am to thank friends in Central and South America for letters of sympathy in my recent illness. I appreciate their warm words and good wishes for the future, and regret that I cannot publish their letters in full in this column
Dear Sir:
An general secretary of the Charleston Division, I desire to tender my deepest regret, as to the termination of the trial of Hon. Marcus Garvey, I hope, however, that it is only a temporary triumph of the enemy.
It is regrettable to think that the Negroes, who are endeavoring to impede the progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are endeavoring (as it were) to put milestones around the neck of the entire Negro race. I will state that, to my mind, the Negro who laughs at the ideals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the incarceration of 'Mr. Garvey, are laughing at their own calamity, for, to my mind, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the only effective solution of the Negro problem. As a stockholder in the Black Star Line, I thank. (?) the federal authorities for their interest in the investors (demanding accounting of their monies), but I will venture, to say for the 100 per cent. stockholder, we would thank them much more for something else (abolition of lynching).
To the enemies, I will say, "Father forgive them, for they know, not what they do." I shall die by the principles of the Universal Neuro Improvement Association.
Dear Sir:
If space will permit, I desire to call attention to members of Charleston Division 113, who have left the city for northern cities, to the necessity of their standing by the organization, urging them to connect themselves with other divisions, if stay in indoors, and if only temporary, to see to it that their dues are kept up in this division, for this division is growing daily and putting on "stunts" hereafter unknown in this local, and will be something to many on their return, if the spirit prevails, continue. The division voices its loyalty to the president-general and to the cause.
Please publish at early convenience.

EVENING POST WRITEB
CAME NEAR BEING
CITED FOR CONTEMPT
On Monday afternoon while the jury had retired to deliberate the Garvey case, the New York Evening Post released in its various editions a scurrilous article, highly prejudicial to all the defendants who were on trial.
Mr. Johnson (counsel for Garcia) brought the matte: to His Honor's attention and asked that the writer (who was a woman) be committed for contempt. Mr. Mattuck agreed with Mr. Johnson, and said he would have moved on behalf of the Government had it not been for the fact that the scurrilous article stood no chance of reaching the jury before they returned a verdict.
His Honor expressed himself in caustic terms denouncing the article as very improper and declaring that had the paper-a chance of being seen by the jury he would have taken summary action.

In undertaking to point out exactly what is fraud, numerous acts are recounted; all of the things that these defendants did are othoara of the Black Star Line are recounted as being done for the purpose of defrauding, and in the last count in the first indictment there is a conspiracy count, which count allages that these four defendants conspired, confederated together and agreed that they would do the things that they are charged with doing in the other saven counts. In the seventh count they are charged with doing the direct things of defrauding the people. In the eighth count they are charged with agreeing to do those things. Now, after this indictment had been drawn there was another indictment drawn, and that indictment was drawn on the 19th January, 1923. Now that indictment in its charging portion charges all of the things that the first indictment charges, namely, that they devised a certain scheme and offered to do, certain things in certain ways. There are four counts in that indictment, and the fourth count is a conspiracy count.
A Venture Into Business
Now it has been agreed, as his Honor will instruct you, that certain counts in both indictments will be stricken out as by agreement, and he will instruct you upon what you will consider in going over the evidence in this case. But we are concerned with pointing out to you that this Black Star Line, as you have heard, was thought of not by one person, but by many people who believed that they ought to have in the propagation of the ideas of this Universal Negro Improvement Association a means of giving Negro men and women an opportunity to venture into business. You will remember from the testimony how there was a meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and there was a motion that we go into the steamship business, and forthwith they started to take up collections for the purpose of getting collections. I believe the first witness for the government, Mr. Gray, said these subscriptions were voluntary and that the people went into it gladly, and that people in one, two, three, four and fifty dollars, and other people putting in very much more. Some did not give as much as a dollar, but all enthusiastically. And why? The boys who had gone to France and had come home found that after all they had fought for they could not get passages on ships back to the West Indies and other places, they could not move about with freedom. Some found that the same order of things existed, that their offerings, all their sacrifice for their country, had been forgotten, that they were not getting the things they had fought for. Therefore they were enthusiastic to get together and do something for themselves. And this opportunity presented itself. They decided to go into business. They decided to get together. They decided to unite. What did they do? They tried to form a steamship company without capital, and, as the testimony says, Mr. Garvey, Mr. Tobias and others formed a committee to see Mr. Kiline, the Assistant District Attorney who possibly on some complaint found they were trying to do business in a membership corporation, and it was not proper to do business in a mem-
business corporation, and he must offer them. I believe it was intended by him. Gharvey for most western conventions, and legally the main total of the conventions who to have the British Navy last interrupted. The incorporators got together and got it incorporated under the laws of Delaware under the advice of their lawyer, Mr. Watson. All they started out to do business. They started out to get some money to put into the coffers of the concern in order that they may buy the ships to start the steamship corporation.
Sale of Stock South
You have read in the book of minutes of meetings of the Black Star Line that Tobias, the defendant for whom I appear, was ordered South with the president to have charge of the sale of stock and to take care of that. The first two witnesses on the stand were all stock men. They tried to tell you not Tobias but the president had had charge of and lost a stock book. You remember that all the testimony since that time by both government and other witnesses has been to the effect that Tobias lost the book, and there was no concealing about losing the book. He lost the stock book and tried to find it, but he didn't lose the money. He brought the money back. There is no evidence before you, gentlemen, that he didn't account for every penny of the money that was taken up for the sale of stock. Tobias went so far as to go back South to hunt in Titusown, Newport News, Portsmouth and elsewhere for that stock book that was lost. And accounting for the same the Board of Directors were, perfectly satisfied.
Something Wrong Somewhars
Now, Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of the Jury, the next we have, is the return to New York from that trip, and we find from the testimony of the two witnesses, from whose conduct it could easily be seen there was a grievance against somebody. When they came back it was found that the money was in the books of one of the men, but it was not properly accounted for by the other man who was taking in the money at the hall. The monies were not properly accounted for, and they were called to account, and rightly so called. We resigned, reluctantly one of the witnesses, Mr. Warner, said. Yes, we resigned. And when pressed for an answer to what to the membership said to him he replied that they would not accept his resignation until he made an accounting. It is a fact that there was something wrong about the monies that were taken in for the Black Star Line. Mr. Warner and Mr. Gray! You remember, Gray the garrulous. He talked and talked and talked and tried to convince them, that he knew everything, that he was absolutely uninterested, and so forth. Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of the Jury, he talked too much. It could be easily seen; and I know that you saw, that he was trying to conceal something.
Purchase of the Yarmouth
Now, Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of of the Jury, a few days after this return from the South at a meeting of the Board of Directors for the Black Star Lige at which Mr. Tobiah was present one Joshua Cockbourne appeared. A man who told the president and members of the Board of Directors that he was a qualified navigator, licensed to sail the seven seas. That he was about the only Negro so qualified in the country. And he came before this Board of Directors, before these novices, remember gentlemen, before these gentlemen who knew
their own business, and we have been constantly seeking opportunities to help them to become successful. We now want to launch a business to give the things that matter will people give to our company, just as an export. What do we want? I have a idea. I have an idea of giving it. I have a ship called the Bigmouth. I have known about her since before to go, perhaps, like a good substantial craft and she will last you many years and give good service." Upon that recommendation they started negotiations for the purchase of the Tarmouth. Gentlemen of the Jury, you remember the testimony on their pledge, you will remember how Mr. Healy had many conferences with the Black Star Line. I believe that the president and secretary, Mr. Smith-Green, were empowered to enter into negotiations for the purchase of this ship. And many conferences were held for the purchase of this ship.
Now Mr. Healy said that Cockburne appeared always with these people and it seemed that he was nautical adviser. He was the nautical adviser of the Committee of the Black Star Line and the agent for those who owned the boat. After many conferences they finally thought that they would pay down a certain amount and take control of the boat. You will remember, I believe, when I asked Mr. Healy, "Is it not a fact that at a certain time the Black Star Line took possession or control of that particular boat?" he said "Yes." That is what we were interested in. The Black Star Line according to promises and according to the bounding of a District Attorney who was right behind Garvey, according to promises had a boat which was in the North River, and which on a certain date cleared the Port of New York and sailed the seas. One of the allegations from the indictment says that the sailing of the Yarmouth made history for the race. Mr. Foreman and gentlemen of the jury. I say it did make history for the Negro race, because it was the first time in the history of this country that a craft as large as the Yarmouth had cleared any port in this country, manned by a black crew alone. Mr. Foreman and gentlemen of the jury: At least we must say that that part of the allegation in the indictment does not disprove the fact that these people were trying mighty hard to make good, to do the things they promised to do in the circular which they were turning out to their members. As Mr. Gray jocularly said, he saw the boat but he didn't go on it. There were those who went on it and arrived safely at their destinations, and there was also freight carried on that boat from port to port, and efforts were made on that trip and on other trips to carry out the itinerary.
Tobias Always Did His Duty
Now in all the testimony given by Government witnesses up to this time in an endeavor to find out what part had been played by George Tobias the Treasurer, there has been no evidence that in the beginning of this business—and he is the only remaining officer who started at the formation of the Company—that there was

A wife who don't want to look her best before her husband is not a good wife. In this day and age of progress people can no longer afford to go around looking like "something the cat dragged in."

know my life: I cannot but appreciate the great success in which you are hold dear to my many literary admirers. Not only have you been a great inspiration to people who are growing into womanhood and manhood—but a great connection to those whose eyes of existence approach. Everyone who reads me a favorite author, and among the many with whom I have conversed, you are highly esteemed as a favorite author, as well as mine. I like they, have read The African Abroad, and with them in saying that the work is a tribute to its author. Thus, I will let this 'stand as a reminder that your personality is above reproach, and that your character by me is immune from attack, therefore. I shall address my words direct in answer to the six misstatements. I shall simply refer to the so-called misstatements by number as it would require too much space to 'repeat them all.
Misstatement No. 1
You say, Mr. Williamson says "the white man has a monopoly on all sources for spreading his propaganda, among which is the Christian religion." I cannot understand your objection to this statement. On page 86 of "The Rising Tide of Color," the author says, "Mohammedanism is making marvelous progress in the interior of Africa. It is crushing paganism out, and before it the Christian propaganda is a myth." Now, as to the source of spreading it, there is none better than the Bible, and since the white man publishes millions of them annually, I am sure that he has the monopoly on that source. There is still another proof of the efficiency of the Christian religion as a propaganda.

There was a high English authority,
I cannot now recall which, either General
Smuta or Livingstone, who said
that one missionary was worth more
among natives in Africa, than a regiment
of soldiers. Now, as to the eminent
gentlemen whom you mentioned in misstatement No. 1 as striking
the hardest blow at African slavery
in the nineteenth century, I am more
than sure that all of them are implicitly reverenced in the heart of every
black man, woman and child.
Misstatement No. 2
Mr. Williamson again says, "I cannot make myself believe that you take the Bible seriously; but, if such is the case, allow me here to express my sympathy for you." This statement indicates that Mr. Williamson has never read the Bible "seriously" and has never studied human history "seriously." If he had read the Bible "seriously," he would have admired the philosophy of Job and Ecclesiastes, the practical wisdom of Proverbs, the poetry of the Psalms, the eloquence of Isaiah, the story of Ruth and Naomi; the brilliant narratives and graphic description of the four gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, and the logic rhetoric, perfervid eloquence of Paul, etc.
I have before me one of the newly edited Bibles revised by the American Revision Committee, 1901, of which I shall write later. I have read the philosophy of Job with much appreciation, although I know him to have only a character of fiction. As a character I cannot admire him very much. He played the same old tricks of his predecessor, "Adam." He seemed to have been a chip off the old block. Not unlike Adam, he seemed to have been an adopt in hiding behind his wife's petticoat. Listen to Job, 2d chapter, 7th verse: "So went Satan from the presence of the Lord and smote Job with sore bole from the sole of his foot to his crown. And he took him a pottershoe to scrape himself withal, and he sat down among the shees. Then said his wife unto him, dost thou still retain thy integrity? Curse God and die. And he unto her, thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh what? Shall we receive good at the hand of God? And shall we not receive evil in it, although did not Job sin with his lips?" Of course Job was a myth, but the author of that book held contempt for women, like the majority of authors in the Bible. He makes a saint of Job, whilst his wife is held up as a stempress and n. defamer of God. A wife was supposed to be only a man's slave—wash, cook and grind corn for him and rear his children, provided they were not girls. If girls, they were generally drowned, strangled or sacrificed to some god. He was supposed to be the temple of the living devil, whilst mighty man was supposed to be the temple of the Living God. Then, too, I think it would have been much better if the finite being had asked these questions and received answers from the Infinite Being. Moreover, I think Jehovah's conduct was questionable. After he had rebuke and chastised Job and Job did not give him any back talk, he then considered Job a good servant. I have often seen this same performance acted in America between black employees and their white masters. As to Ecclesiastes, this seems to be the confession of a preacher, the son of David. He, too, seems to have been a bondmaster. Also, he had snatched babies from their mothers' bosoms and sold them into cruel slavery. Ecclesi., 2d chapter, 7th verse: I bought men servants and maid servants; he confesses, and had servants born in his house, etc. This monster seems to have repented of his evil deeds, but his confession did not appear to have had any effect upon his fellow monsters, who for years trafficked in slavery between America and Africa. The Iroverbs were written by Solomon, the son of David, a chip off the old block; that suffices; I will deal with the block. The heavens declare the glory of the Lord. Psalm 19th chapter. No such thing; they declare the glory of the astronomers only. We have no need for the hypothesis of a god.
I appreciate very highly the Book of Psalms. I love poetry; I believe everyone does; it thrills the soul; it appeals to the vivid imagination. I believe David, apart from his questionable character, to have been a great poet. I think he was just as great a poet as he was a wife stealer. I do not admire the part that Isaiah played. He reminds me too much of Gloomy Gus. It is said that evil events cast their shadows before them. Isaiah was a bearer of evil tiding; he appears to have been Jehovah's messenger boy. He had nothing to deliver but threats and despotic edicts; the very sight of him should have reminded Israel of the tolling of bells. Listen to Isaiah, 15th chapter, 9th verse: "Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel with wrath and fierce with anger, to make the land a desolation, and, to destroy the sinners thereof out of it." Can a God who utterts such words have mercy? Is this the God who brings forth Maszaroth in his season, or who guides Aroturus with his son? As for Ruth, the writer of this narrative appears to have departed from the traditions and principles of his fellow writers in that he found something else in a woman besides devilia. I have often wondered
if he was inter jerseyed. I admire the loyalty and devotion of Ruth to her mother-in-law, that in provided either existed, but I cannot admire the method she used in securing for herself a husband.
The brilliant narratives and graphic description of the four gospels would make and reading if one failed to keep in mind the fact that they are all fictitious. Paul, too, appears to have been a wizard at miracles. In Acts.9:34 he miraculously cures a mish who had been sick in bed for eight years. I do not approve of the way that Ananias and his wife were treated. There was no reason why he should have given up all his money to the church; it was only natural that he would want to keep some of his own money. But, of courses, I am sure that the thing never occurred. The whole story was concocted by the priests and early church fathers in order to reap a greater harvest in contribution. So I will place Paul in the category with all the rest of the biblical myths. You have taken exception to my statements and these are characters that you referred me to as sublime. I can not for any reason understand how a brain that conceived and planned "The African Abroad" can find anything noble, even so little, in these questionable characters of the Bible.
Misstatement No. 3
"Mr. Williamson says that after the death of Christ two or three hundred years later, the crafty Roman priest compiled a new testament and told the world that the Jews had crucified a God." Here I had to admit that Jesus was crucified, although I know Him to have been a myth. I wanted to show that it was not Jews (who are among the best people on earth) who crucified Him. The world must have a crucified God, and I know that my people must have a white ideal to worship, since they will not concentrate their ideas upon a black one. The story that a God must die to save the world is older than the story of Adam. First, prove that Christ once lived, then prove His death and resurrection. There is no proof that He ever lived. There is no reason why He should have died to save the world. Those priests who cast Christ must have stolen the patent rights from the pagans. He performed the same miracles that Gods before Him are reputed to have performed. If we say that His miraculous birth on the 25th of December, an old pagan day of worship, is an accident. The performing of miracles, like other gods before Him, shall we call a coincidence? Then what shall we call His miraculous resurrection on another pagan day of worship—a habit? The four gospels read. Gospel according to Matthew, etc., etc., meaning that Matthew told some one or one one heard Mark or John say, or Luke told some one, or some one says Luke said this; and that there being no evidence that any of them ever lived, I refrained from touching upon this subject in the other letter, my only object being to show that Jews did not crucify Christ. I know how deep that superstition is imbbeded in the people that a God had to die to save the world.
Misstatement No. 4
"Mr. Williamson says again. Then too, I have become a little skeptical in following white men around, especially after perusing the last three hundred years of American history."
Now in what sense can you consider this a misstatement? When a person reads history, while reading, he will think, and he will eventually have some conclusions. Should he then state these conclusions? Suppose, after reading history, that I should come to the conclusion that my forefathers had been led into slavery through some ruse or wrong leadership, and that the people that once held my forefathers in slavery might reconsider the matter and conclude that they had done wrong in giving them their liberty, and begin to lay their plans accordingly. I then would be placed in a position where I would need some advice. I could no longer trust the other side, for my destiny would be at stake. Then do you think I am wrong in preferring a leader of my own species? Mr. Ferris, you are wrong!
As for the remainder of No. 4, misstatement, I am sure that we Negroes are grateful to the white people for adding the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, although they have done us no good. We are also thankful that the Northern white people permitted the Negro to serve as lieutenants, Governors, Secretaries of State, superintendents, etc., in the South during the reconstruction days. Although I know it to have been only spite work, I do not think that the loyalty of the Negro to the American white people should be questioned. I do not think that his fidelity to the American flag needs any further demonstration. He has answered the call of every bugle. He has spilled his blood upon every field of battle. He has never learned the art of holding malice, except against his own kind. During all the long years of slavery he never composed a song of hate, and when Lee surrendered to Grant and the South did not surrender to the North, it is said that a delegation of Negroes waited upon President Lincoln and begged him not to sign the Declaration of Emancipation. So, if there are a few radicals among us it should be overlooked. It simply answers forever that question: "Is the Negro a man?" It demonstrates that after all he is human, and remember that it always pays to be just and fair.
Misstatement No. 5:
Mr. Williammaon, says: "If history proves anything, it proves that the Christian nations have been the greatest butchers of human flesh." Here you refer to the history of the Huns, of Mohammedanism, of the Mongolian and Tatar tribes, of the Middle Ages, and of the Turks' massacre of the
Armenians and Greeks in the past thirty years? I myself read a French dispatch direct from Paris (about three years ago), saying that half of the English reports of massacres of Greeks and Armenians by the Turks were false reports, and that it was English propaganda to gain the sympathy of the world so that she could exploit with immunity. There is no proof that Attila and his Huns (of which I have already read), and the others that you mentioned, with their crude implements of war and their slow process of transportation, killed and injured as many people as the Christians have in their more modern methods of waging war. There is no evidence that there were as many casualties in Hannibal's sixteen years, campaign in Rome as there were in the three days' battle of Gettysburg.
Misstatement No. 6
Mr. Williamson says of Christianity: "There has been no revelation. The whole thing is a fabrication manufactured by the crafty priest and sanctioned by the ruling class to appease the great majority and make them contented to be enslaved and exploited by the small minority." Now, if Mr. Williamson had made a proper study of the rise of Christianity he would have discovered that Christianity did not originate among the crafty priest and ruling class of Judea, etc. The fact that I do not believe the rise of Christianity as the Church fathers, priests and vicarans wrote it is simply because I do not believe in miracles. And let me state here that I remember your controversy on miracles some time ago, and that I, in no sense, consider the flat-iron building a miracle. I read in history that Constantine, in looking toward the sky beheld the Cross of Jesus Christ with his legend beneath: "By this conquer." In another history I read that John, the author of the Book of Revelation, was placed by a Roman emperor in a kettle of boiling oil and was later litted out unharmed. But this is what I read in other histories of the early churches. It propagated the Christian religion by the sword. Those who did not believe were slain if they did not pretend to. Millions who did not believe were thrown into dark dungeons to die. Multitudes had their tongues cut out. Many had their ears filled with hot lead. Many were blinded or flayed at the stake. Corpses were dug up and tried for heroes; then burned. Listen to Gloriano Bruno as he stood before the flames that the church had prepared to consume him: "You, oh, judge! feel perchance more terror in pronouncing this judgment than I do in hearing it."
The church always has been and is still the enemy of intellectual freedom. Three Sundays ago Bishop Manning said: "There are preachers who know too much and believe too little simple faith calls for simple minds." I am glad that he made this admission for it is no longer a puzzle to me why it is that the divinity of Christ, the scope and extent of His power, the immaculate conception, the miracles wrought by Christ are all of them believed implicitly by millions of people the world over. In the beginning of this letter I mentioned a revised Bible I see that in Numbers, 12th chapter. 1st verse, now reads: "And Mirjam and Aron spake against Moses because the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman." Now, I am sure that the old Bible read: "Ethiopian woman." Now, there has been a change made in the Holy Bible, in this our day; it was not done by the finger of God. Of course, it is the same crasing and forging that has been going on for centuries, quoting from works that never existed, giving the names of men who never lived. There have been annexed to the Bible old forts old ramparts, rifle pits and old breastworks behind which countless of thousands of despotic tyrants and old slave masters for centuries have sought and found refuge and everlasting peace.
Now, there is a cause for this change from Ethiopia to Cushite. Nothing happens without a cause. The leaf does not fall from the tree just because it falls. It does not rain just because it rains. There must first be a cause. The sun, concentrating its heat upon bodies of water, transforms some of that water into vapor, which rises high above, and there it will remain in a state of vapor waiting for a cause. That cause that it awaits is the moon on its journey around the earth; it attracts the ether which fills the two hundred and thirty-eight thousands of miles of space between the earth and moon, which in turn sets the earth's atmosphere in motion, thereby cooling the vapor which retransforms into molecules of water which is then too heavy to float on air, then with the power which mother earth has to attract and hold matter she calls these drops of water back to her bosom again. Therefore there must have been a cause for that change. In Numbers, 12th chapter, this is the cause. The powers that shape our destiny do not want the millions of black children who are growing up to know that Jehovah actually sanctioned weddings of an Ethiopian woman and one of His greatest prophets. The story would not rhyme no well with these multitudes of segregation laws. They reason that the ignorant masses will not ponder over the weighty problem of who the Cushite woman was. I am not satisfied with the statement that science and religion do not conflict. The Christian religion teaches, that there is a burning hell. Science teaches nothing of the kind: in fact, everything in science points to the contrary. The Bible is the origin of the Christian religion, and science contradicts the very first chapter. Genesis, first chapter, 16th to 19th verses, says God made the sun; moon and stars the fourth day after he made the earth. The scientists say there are types of billions of stars burning, and possibly as many that have burned out, and that it takes
CITIZENS' CLUB IN
PHILADELPHIA, PA, TO
OPEN NEGRO ART GALLERY
That sterling aggregation of our foremost race of men, known as the Citizens' Republican Club of Philadelphia, ever in the forefront of movements for social uplift, has launched a project that for aesthetic and intellectual enjoyment could scarcely be surpassed.
Briely, their plan is as follows: Immediately after the enlargement of their present commodious clubhouse they propose to set aside space to be used as a gallery for Negro art exclusively.
The whole, art world knows of the fame of Tanner and Meta Vaux Warwick Fuller, but is ignorant-of the fact that there are scores, possibly hundreds, of Negro artists whose work is sufficiently meritorious to warrant being hung in a gallery and seen and admired by the public.
It is perfectly obvious what an inspiration such an exhibition would be to our young people. In addition to having this permanent exhibition of Negro art, there will be competitive exhibitions and special exhibitions at stated intervals, at which prizes will be awarded.
This brilliant idea of having a gallery of Negro art (the first of its kind in the world) originated in the mind of Mr. John A. Davis, one of the artist members of the Citizens Republican Club, and has the full indulgence and hearty co-operation of the president of the club. Mr. Edward Heilery.
Artists desiring to have their work hung in the permanent or competitive exhibition should submit a to Mr. John A. Davis, chairman of Art Committee. Citizens' Republican Club, Philadelphia.
HAMPTON, Va. June 21.—The Hampton Institute brass band, under the direction of Bandmaster W. M. O. Teusmann, gave the following program in Ozden Hall: March. "The Stars and Stripes Forever" (Sousa); overture. "Panorama" (Barnhousal cornet solo. "Fantasia Polka" (Rollinson) by James E. Newby; intermezzo. "Cavalleria Rusticana" (Mascagni); motif. "Lucia di Lammermoor" (Donzetti); characteristic. "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" (Jessel); selection. "Memories of Stephen Foster" (arranged by Holmes); miscellar. "Il Trovatore" (Verdi); walt. "Vienna Beauties" (Zlehrer); march. "Slim Trombone" (Filmore); "Star-Spangled Banner."
Dr. J. E. Gregg preached the baccalaureate sermon from the text, "And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders" and signs among the people. Christianity, today needs fearless preachers and teachers, who can set forth the old truths in new forms, who will not be bound by the past, but will trust the spirit of God to lead his children ever forward." said Dr. Gregg.
The Hampton Institute chorus sang under the direction of Faige L. Lancaster, at the closing Sunday evening service, held in Ogden Hall, the following well known Negro religious folk songs, which had been selected according to custom, by the graduating class: "Ride On, Jesus"; "Steal Away to Jesus"; "I'm Going to Tell You About the Coming of the Savior"; "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen"; "By and By"; and "Let the Heaven Light Shine on Me". Dr. Gregg spoke on "Christian Personality"; Dr. James Weldon Johnson on "Negro Folk Music."
The annual competitive drill of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps of Hampton Institute, of which L. Col. N. M. Carmell, U. S. A. (retired), is the commanding officer, for the Winston Silver Trophy, was won by Company B. Capt. Reuben F. Jones of Baltimore, well-known athlete and captain of the institute track team, commanding. The best-drilled soldier was George B. D. Stephens of Phoebus, Va. Prizes were also presented to the following winners in the Gallery Rifle Mateh: Isaac O. White of Washington, D. C., first; St. Clair Robinson of Lee, Mass., second.
At the annual spring concert William M. O. Tessman, handmaeter of Hampton Institute, who is also a violinist, gave the first local presentation of B. Nathaniel Dett's recently published violin composition, "Ramah," which gives an interpretation of Negro life in the South.

light traveling at the rate of 286,330 miles a second twenty-five thousand years to traverse the diameter of this universe, and yet the Bible says that they were made four days later than the earth. Again the Bible says God created man out of dust. Science says that millions of years ago man's ancestors were microscopic animals floating around in salt water. The Creator has never spoken verbally to any man, but we hear His voice, daily in the song of the bird, in the tiny ripple of the baby's voice; our sense of small perceives him in the fragrance of every flower; he sends us messages through the twinkling rays of the state. He demonstrates His love in the devotion of a mother to her new-born hobe. Would not this be an appropriate occasion for inquiring of those who made the aforementioned change from what source the information was gained advancing them that they may gain international fame by lecturing in universities in America and abroad.
Sincerely yours.

THE DRUMS
Hear those native drums a-rolling
Through the jungle air the news.
That from Western world are coming
Brother legions sworn to loose *
Each foul grasp of Christian power
From bled Africa's tortured soil—
Legions teaching king and subject
Their true worth and thieves to foil!
Hear the drums, the native wireless,
As the message bounds away!
Redemption sounding in each drum-
beat
Flaming faith to urge the way.
Solidarity of action.
Solidarity of will.
Solidarity of purpose—
Purpose to forever still
Leprosa clamring that for centuries
Long have held their brutal away.
And in the name of the white-Christ
Dragged fettered men and lands
away.
Hear the drums! Ah, can the wild life
Senses in the vibrant air
New ways and a new existence
For the tree-nest and the lair.
When the rot of Christian power
Shall have vanished with its clay.
And the crescent of true humans
Light the earth for a new day.
When the sword that Jesus promised
Shall turn sons of men to God.
And forever sweep the hikot
From proud Africa's precinct sod.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, B. W. I. April 26. Last Saturday morning I saw an interesting group gasing at a sign above the entrance of the temporary office of the above division (No. 100) of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This sign read: "Registered Office of the African Communities' League People's Cooperative Bank, Limited." The object of this bank (operated under the auspices of the U. N. I. A.) is to carry on business as banker and bill discounter and of dealer in stock, shares, bonds, debentures, mortgages and other securities, and to make advances for co-operative, agricultural and industrial objects. It is managed by a committee of management under the supervision of a council. Shares are issued only to certified active members of the U. N. I. A. All other business transactions are opened to the general public as well as its members.
It may be mentioned here that the necessary forms of application, etc., for the registration of this bank was handed the Government months ago, but, like the Jamaica Government, it must 'take (metaphorically), centuries to put through matters of the kind, especially 'when the application comes from (as it's termed)' the poor or small Negro. Owing to this delay, certain members of this division—outside of its fold through suspension, expulsion and otherwise—who have formed themselves into a so-called chapter (antagonists), have used it to assist them in their propaganda to dissuade the minds of the public and faint-hearted members against linking up or affiliating with the division in that all the division says is void of veracity and 'is only intended to swindle.
Ladies' Night or Mothers' Union Tuesday evening, April 24. at St. Mark's Hall, was again the occasion of the usual "ladies' night" or "mothers' union" of the division. At the rear of the building, by invitation, sat quite a number of men who cordially admitted at the close the rare program of which they were recipients.
Welcome: those present after the annual opening formalities, Mrs. Ade Hyatt, first lady vice-president; said: "Considering, ladies, and gentleman, the inclementity of the weather. I am, indeed, more than pleased to see the attendance hero tonight, especially the ladies, who are all beaming with an eustasy that portrays the more my conviction that, the daughters of Ethiopia domiciled in this city and made new by Garveyism are cognizant of the environments that face the race and are determined to let nothing stand in the way of helping to carry forward the doctrines of this grand and noble cause so inspiringly founded by the 'Moses' of the race. Hon. Married Garvey, and as pounded by the U.S.R. I. A., in our meeting together weekly to report and plan ways and means for assisting the poor women, especially the mothers and girls, of our race by setting up the beaconing light of a new era of hope and fortitude.
"Tonight, however, as previously announced, will be devoted not so much to the hearing of reports, etc., but to the entertaining of our men here with us, and, if by so doing, ladies, we help to remove from them that dominant "wishbone" and substitute real "backbone"—take from them that weakness so long riveted in their knees that has made them "cringers" and "bowers" at the feet of aliens, thereby lowering so degradingly the dignity of the ancient Ethiopia, then, ladies, the fruit of our labor in so having them with us tonight shall have been realized.
"I regret very much the absence of the lady that should have presided tonight. In her absence I am asking, with the most dignified honor, our Ethiopian princess, Mrs. Ada Jones, head of the Dorgan Society, to take the chair."
This was done amid cheers and the program proceeded as follows:
Report of the visiting committee by Mrs. H. Lewin. This report depicted the dire poverty, hardships and sufferings under the most wretched housing, conditions that poor mothers and girls existed in a certain section of the city, and the noble work of "angels of mercy" carried out by the committee. At the close of the report Mrs. Lewin (moved almost to tears) said with emphasis and fervor: "I know that this condition exists everywhere, though not as lamentable, as in Jamaica, with our less fortunate sisters, and would to God that the
true women of the different divisions of the U. N. I. A., if not already on the move in this direction of promulgating the doctrines of the association—reclaiming the fallen and assisting the needy—would start out even now, knowing that if we must win, as we aim, in redeeming our sisters on the shores of Africa, we must pave the way by starting with those in our midat."
Address by the president, Rev. S. M. Jones, who stated that he had no notice that he was to speak, but that it was a pleasure for him to say something on such an auspicious occasion. Referring to the section of the city mentioned by Mrs. Lewin in her report, Rev. Jones said that, it was there, twenty years ago, that he started his work, and that the pititable condition existing, there then remains the same today. The vast majority of our people, he explained, are poor because of inadequate wages coupled with heavy taxation, and of necessity lived under the most demoralizing conditions possible, and in their undesirable surroundings they are forced to grow up into anything but a credit to the race; hence the work the ladies have taken up is commendable, and if they continue in the same zealous way success must crown their efforts, to the glory of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. He also inquired of the mothers when they last kissed their little boys and girls with the embrace of love—the love that is of God which caused His son to sacrifice His life. Rev. Jones concluded by admonishing the mothers to inculcate in their children the pride and love of race and the necessity for standing by the Red, the Black and the Green, so that the children will be able to produce a better standard of fathers and mothers to be a beacon light for the redemption of Africa through the efforts of the U. N. I. A.
Recitation by Miss Mary Sterling.
Duet by Mrs. Ada Jones and Nurse MacCalla.
Song by Mr. G. P. Llewellyn, third vice-president, who, before singing, said he thought he wan there to be entertained and not to entertain, but that he was always willing to do his share.
He started to sing "I had a bad father who throw all the work on mother," but are he had reached the third line his voice collapsed, which created prolonger-laughter. With the "clearing of his throat and "Don't you see my contention is right?" he started again, and at the close had to respond to an encore.
Address and song by Miss Lizan Clarke, second lady vice-president, who, after referring briefly to the various activities of the Mothers' Union, with an appeal to the other ladies to affiliate, Miss Clarke hit out at the men straight from the shoulder. She spoke superciliously of the traitors of the division, warning the men that unless they threw aside slovenly mode of living and instead were up and doing, the women, with their determination, will put the men in the rear and go forward as go many Joans of Arc until they plant the glorious trecolon on the hilltops of Africa, for, unlike their foremothers, they are not content to hand down to the women of the future the things the present generation have to put up with. She also called attention to the familiar saying that women cannot keep a secret. She admitted that while in other matters there may be some truth in the saying, she challenged the men to prove their contention so for as it relates to the women members of the U. N. I. A. The reverse is the cage, she asserted, for the divulgers of secrets and traitors are to be found among the men. Her song, like her address, made a great hit.
Recitation by Master Bryan.
Address by Mr. U. A. Leo Grant, treasurer. He spoke panegyrically of the workings of the ladies' branch of the division. The truthfulness of the stinging remarks of the previous lady speaker in regard to the traitors in the association was borne out by evidence supplied by this and other divisions as well as by the parent, body; therefore he sincerely wished he were a lady, not, of course, he explained, of the "old" Negro type, but of the "new." Concluding, he reminded the men that they were living in a new age and must be prepared to see wonders performed, but for God's sake do not sit back and permit the women to form the vanguard of the army fighting for Africa's redemption without a struggle for supremacy. Recitation by Miss S. Pusey, third lady vice-president.
Address by Nureen MacCalla, in which she pleaded most pathetically for the glory of future Ethiopia, an exemplary life for parents and deplored the constant criticism of others. always remembering that "there's so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us that it behooves none of us to say anything of the rest of us."

A. Sturting and supported by Mr. U.
Lee Grant, the singing of Ethiopia's
national symphony, followed by the ban-
dition, terminated this meeting. If the

N. LEO PORTER.
The Jersey City Division, under torents of rain and whiting wind, held a gigantic inspiring meeting, flowing with enthusiasm, love and faith, and preclaiming, themselves 100 per cent, behind, before, and all around Marcus Garvey, etc. After the opening ode the president, Brother Button, rendered the opening remarks. He dealt masterly on the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. He told his hearers to him the Red, Black and Green is a "symbolic tri-cobef" of an assured goal. It represents the physical, mental and spiritual resurrection, when the true, determined leaders, or shepherds, will teach their sheep the true and practical meaning of the risen Christ, for when the truth is told, we will have a genuine self-consciousness and then realize what is racial determination. He then brought his opening remarks to a close by asking all, within and without, not to hide their stock, of knowledge from their fellowmen.
Brother McClean, from the parent local and Bible class, was next to turn on the light. His subject was "Faith." He illuminated our minds by ancient and modern historical facts, polishing us to the fate of all genuine reformers, and some have paid the price for their outl. He referred to John the Baptist (Isis). Jesus the Christ, and many others. He told us not to wait till we die to go to heaven to drink milk and honey and wear, golden slippers, etc., for to him all those things are within the order of things around us. He told us of Aures" (Abraham's) cult. He touched on Urr of the Chaldees, where Moses learned much, and all to write his books. He warned us of the spirit of division, which is the devil, or Oriolobis, which is created in men's hearts and sets us one against the other. Brother McClean said that as a perfect New Negro he has fought, and will continue to fight, as Paul has fought. Let love be your armor breast plate, truth your bayonet, and purity your hand grenade or bomb. Unite your pure thoughts, for in the consense of opinions there is a God (power), and in the fullness of time we'll have a genuine new government on the Continent of Africa.
He referred to the past war. The religious allies did not stay in their churches and pray, and fight; instead, they prayed and trusted in their battleships, money, men, submarines, gas, nighits, etc., and when the road to victory became rough and tiresome, they appealed to the opinions of the United States, and Woodrow Wilson recruited the men, money, ships and food, and showed America's love toward the allied forces. Therefore you can see that it was the "God of America" that assisted the God of the allies to defeat the Gott of the vanquished. In conclusion Brother McClean said there's no other way but the way of love, truth and purity, for the shortest way to any given point is a "straight course". He made us to tolerate and stick till the goal is reached.
The president, in commenting, said that the prize of an event are always given after, but during the race each contestant keeps his mind and eyes on the tape and strives earnestly to continue to the end. The next speaker was Brother Valentine, of the parent local choir and Bible class. His subject was: "Nothing is Lost in the Universe." His diagrams on the blackboard were wonderful and convincing. He beseeched us not to swallow everything, hook, line and sinker, but to put our five talents to work. He told us that sixteen years ago he ceased to depend on religious dogma for everlasting life. We can, and must, find everlasting life through biological findings. He said our years after depend, in some way, on how we live in the order of things around us. He said that while we live we should strive to establish principles worthy of patterning, like that of Christ, our standard bearer, or even as George Washington is to the people of America. Again, when we die, "we live forever" through vegetable or organic matter. We live by manuraging the earth, and all things cometh thereof. He made us to be firm, for under the sun there's nothing new. All that is, was, and all that was, shall be. ("Ecl.")
We must embrace the moral and ethical code and stand firm with the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L., and we shall will, and must produce something tangible for our posterity, for what men have done we can do, and when the prize of our fight is given out it will be a government in Africa second to none, for the protection of all Negroes. Imagine a United States of Africa, and use an your shilohole love, truth and justice. "We must win." Brother A. A. Shelton, musical instructor, has recovered from his recent illness and was with us. Brother Valentine paid tribute to him and said all mothers and fathers should send their young ones that are in the vicinity to take up some musical study, for it will help to keep their brain active, and the members of the division should stir up some interest in the juvenile line. He told us how each parent could save expenses and spend it on the child. Learn prevention, rather than cure, and cut down on your sporting bill, and get your vitamins from the garden. At this juncture the meeting came to a close by a prayer from the chaplain. We remain true to the cause.

By CYRIL C. CLARKE
Corresponding Secretary
On Friday, April 27, 1922, the Libertarian Chapter No.1, with its gallant auxiliary, the Second Kingston U. A. Legion, celebrated the 31st day of C. A. Taylor, honorable president of this chapter. The hall was tastily and beautifully decorated with red, black and green, ferns and palm leaves. At the gate the good old unstained flag was proudly flown, guarded, by two swords, under which a decorated arch and two legions on guard. At the hour of 7 p. m. the seats in the hall began to be rapidly occupied, and at 9 p. m. the mass meeting audience from the streets marched on their way to the hall singing "Never Let the New Flag Fall." At 9:10 p. m. the signal whistle of the sergeant echoed in the air, which notified all present the president was arriving. One minute later the president arrived, accompanied by Ivan G. Aarons, general secretary; W. A. Christian, treasurer, and Cyrill C. Clarke, corresponding secretary. He was received by a strong guard of honor of the legion under the command of Lieutenant Goddard. As he entered the gate the goodly command of "guard of honor, royal salute, attention," given by Lieutenant Goddard was masterly and fluently given.
The echo of the command had scarcely faded away when the audience rose under the strain of the "Ethiopian National Anthem," accompanied by the band, during which the president and his accompanying staff inspected the men. They looked smart and maintained everything of a soldier. They did not fail in executing their command without the slightest hitch. A minute later Captain K. McIntosh, officer commanding, entered the hall and was received by the general salute.
After the inspection the president was marched by a guard to his chair and they maintained guard directly behind him. Standing each side of the platform were two Black Cross nurses in full uniform. On the platform under the tri-colors of the Red, Black and Green was seated the president, Fred Evans, first vice-president; I. G. Airon, general secretary; W. A. Christian, treasurer; Miss Nora Falken secretary Second Kingston U. A. Black Cross Nurse, and Cyril C. Clarke, corresponding secretary, in the chair. The chairman rose amidst applaud, and gave his opening address, in which he showed that we had met to celebrate the 31st birthday of a Negro who for a period of four years has been serving his race faithfully and working for Africa's redemption. The chairman further remarked that aspect of the several criticisms and persecution that have been meted out to Mr. Taylor, our president, during his determined struggle for Africa's redemption and the betrayment of 400,000 Negroes, of which the 800,000 Jamaica Negroes are a part.
This only goes to make his determination firmer and stronger to serve the U. N. L. A., more faithful and to ever work for the unanimance of his race and the upholding of the Red, Black and Green. The general secretary, next addressed the audience. During his soul-stirring address his encouraging words were "To thine own self be true." At the close of the address the chairman called for three pounds of applause for the president, which the audience heartily gave. The president replied in beautiful words. The following is the literary program which was well rendered, the songs and quotations were well rendered, realizing that they came from the lips of the young folks of our race. The pieces by Miss I. Folkes, Miss D. Clarke and Miss L. Rock and Master B. Rock delighted the audience: Song, "I Dreamt of the Song of the Roose." W. Johnson.
Song: "Rose of Washington Squara"

Song, N. Curtice,

Much praise and encouragement must be extended to the young Negroes of this chapter, who are steadily improving in every desired way.
Very delightful to human eyes and taste was a beautiful ice cake presented by the Legion. Great interest and meriliment was displayed in the audience ever the cutting and selling of the 'cake', led by W. A. Christian, money pceler of the Libertarian chapter. Following, with sincerity, was the distribution of the gifts to the president by Miss Nora Folkes, secretary of the Second Kingaton U. A. Black Cross Nurses, and Miss Inez Kolso, second lady vice-president. The gifts were distributed amid the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. They were numerous and valuable, and the smile exhibited by the president as the gifts were handed to him showed how much he appreciated them. Mr. W. A. Christian, on behalf of the honorable president, returned thanks to the woulou givens. He then started an auction sale of flowers. Two beautiful bunches of flowers were sold repeatedly and presented back to the president. At the hour of 11:30 p.m. an enjoyable night was terminated by the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. As the president left the hall he was given the general salute by the guard of honor of the Legion.
Much congratulation and praise must be given to Leight, Golddard and the officers and men of the Leight; also the ladies of this chapter, who worked hard to make this function a success. We can still about that the Libertarian chapter is progressing. A letter from the parent body dated April 21, granting our charter, brings joy to the chapter and a further determination to work for McKinley redemption. Bank account we can report to date £27 45 lb Big M's Meetings at the Race Course A series of mass meetings are being kept up at the pace course every night in line with the Brown Amusement C2 (to the company), which is now open to its "whip" and merry group at the race course to exporter for a three minutes ride.

That; the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. has chosen well the Hon. Wm. Sherri as an assistant President-General has proved, to us since his visit, to the St. Louis Division No. 162, May 12, 13 and 14, 1923. We believe this, for he has counted the cost and is willing to make any sacrifice for Africa's redemption. His aim is truth and we believe his virtue is honesty. His visit with us was highly appreciated, only too short, for he has such a storehouse of knowledge that we need. One writes has said, "Master words and you master men." If this he true. Hon. Wm. Sherri, will master men, for he surely has words. He said the present pressing needs of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L.' were loyalty of its members to the principles of this grand move

I have not words at my command to try to write the many good and wholesome things Mr. Sherill said to us. Mepdry, his first day, was one of heavy rainfall, but that did not stop the activities of our members. A reception in his honor from 2 to 6 p.m. was grand in every sense of the word. The beautiful decorations, the appertaining menu, the words of apperition of each member present, could not be kept but made Hon Wm Sherill know that we are in accord with all those who have the truths of this movement at heart. God bless his every effort and give him youth, property and happiness for a hundred years.

We know there was much more to hear about our Mother but here but we did not know the good and wholesome information we would need so soon. Sunday May 14, so our great pleasure, we welcomed Dame Mohamed All Bendul, president of the African Oriental Trading Co. The president of the U. N. I. A. was successful in inducing Mr. All to say a few words before the Division Sunday, May 20. He spoke on the unity which was necessary between all the Negro elements the world over in the interest of their own protection. He outlined the history of our group from the time Cush, the son of Gom, showing the great things the Negro had done in the way of civilization of mankind. He said that not only was it necessary for the Negroes to get together socially and politically, but also commercially. He instanced the case of the Jews, showing that Negroes could do what the Jews had done because the Negroes have advanced further in 60 years after emancipation than the 60 years after emancipation for 40 years until a new generation had sprung up which would start a new civilization in Palestine, whereas the Negroes in the U. S. A. have been carrying on civilization ever since the emancipation. The speaker said that the Negro had proven his worth and was continuing to do so and the persecution he suffered was tending to bring him in line with his brothers across the waters, and as time goes on it will be found that the Negro in the New World will have to look more and more toward Africa, which the Creator is now fitting him to redeem in the interest of himself and his brother in Africa so that the prophecy "that Ethiopia would stretch forth her hands unto God" would be abundantly exemplified. He paid a high tribute to the colored women of America, showing that it was through their sacrifices and their visions that the race in the U. S. A. is what it is to-day. The speaker also informed us that inasmuch as we are highly critical of each other that in itself is further evidence in the direction of our future advancement. We are not contented with ourselves and by not being satisfied we prove our realization of the need of improvement, which was all to the good in the direction of our march toward that progress which will result in the reassumption by the Negro of that high destiny which was his
period which succeeded the flood and
which the Creator, intends him to
same in the very near future.
St. Louis Division is doing very well
with its membership campaign and it
are always glad to welcome strangers
in our midst. We stand firm for the
U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. and that our
leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, live to
his ideals realized in our hope.
You're for the highest good of the
Negro race the world over.

United States Authorities Jail Stalwart Negro Leader for Very
Mild Expression of Opinion in Regard to Action of
Crackerist Read Commissioner
People Are Urged to Gird Their Lions to Prepare for the Fight Between the Races—Case Similar in Respects to Marcus Garvey's
By CASPER HOLSTEIN.
These are days that try men's souls Out of Massachusetts a man—a distinguished thinker, Dr. Miektejohn, president of Amherst College—has been dismissed by his Wall street board of trustees (a board that is dominated by J. P. Morgan & Co.) because he has dared to express the view that students must learn to think out the world's social problems for themselves and not form judgments solely on the basis of writers of textbooks and other political and economic dogmatists. For this "radical" view Dr. Miektejohn was fired. And Amherst, one of the country's most liberal educational institutions, will be thrown back into the pre-Miektejohn rut of narrowness and prejudice and illogical thinking. Under such conditions it is almost maniacal to hope for a brighter day for liberalism and unprejudiced thinking in Lincoln's republic.
Garvey and the "Bucket Shop"
in our own ranks the Negro peoples of the world this past week have witnessed the tragic spectacle of Marcus Garvey, to my mind, stands head and shoulders above Negro leaders of all times, going to spend five years in the Federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., for a principle, a burning ideal. Technically Mr. Garvey is there for using the United States mails to deliver, and in the meantime readers of New York newspapers daily learn of the sensational failures of famous Wall street "bucket shop" brokerage houses—failures that cost the people over $100,000,000.
Democracy and Us
Friends, I say to you, have no illumination to the meaning of democracy. Democracy is not for black people. It is the prised skirts of whites—bourgeois whites. In order to enjoy it one must be white and, in addition, a "right thinker." Be under no illusions. I say to you, as to the attitude of the white race toward the black race. Now that Mr. Garvey is gone the reins will be tightening up on us. And this, more than any other time, is the time for us to gird our loins and light the good fight.
Jailed for an Ideal
Those of you who have been following my writings in The Negro World in behalf of the downtrodden natives of the Virgin Islands will be astounded to learn that even out there in the Caribbean there are men who, like Terence McSwiney, Eugene V. Debs and Marcus Carvey, are ready to go to jail for a burning racial principle. I refer to the case of D. Hamilton Jackson, president of the St. Croix Union, who on June 11 began a six-day sentence in the Richmond jail in St. Croix for during to criticize the conduct of an officer of the pauco-civil administration of the Isles.
Muzzling the Native Press
It will be recalled by readers of The Negro World that a year ago, after my return from St. Croix, I began agitating for justice and equal rights in the Virgin Islands. One of the things I indignantly protested against, in conjunction with the Nation, America's most liberal weekly, and with Mr. Roger Baldwin of the American Civil Liberties Union was the muzzling of the native press by the autocratic administrators of the Isles. Time and time again you had the barbaric spectacle of Negro editors and journalists being put into tail at the pleasure of the administra-

tion on the very vague charge of "contempt."
"A Georgia Cracker"
Last year the Road Commissioner of St. Croix, a man with the psychology of a Georgia cracker, not only overstepped his bounds, but showed a marked prejudice against Jackson because of Jackson's power and influence as head of the labor union, when, without consulting, the Road Commission, he took it upon himself to institute legal proceedings against the labor union for not repairing its roads. This was inconsistent with the rulings of any civic commission, because the chairman should never act without the consent of his colleagues.
The Editorial
Jackson in an editorial in "The Herald" mildly, and very intelligently said "that there are other roads which are in worse condition than the labor union's, and these roads, besides, the commissioner had to pass before he got to the 'black people's roads.'" That was all:
Shortly after that Judge Palme of the Police Court demanded that Jackson appear in court. In court Judge Palme—that "Tin Pot Tiberius" I have often referred to—decided in his high-handed interpretations of the majesty of the law, that this most assuredly could not be anything but "contempt," and sentenced Mr. Jackson to serve six days in jail. (Coming out on bail, Mr. Jackson went all the way to the Virgin Islands Supreme Court in Philadelphia to appeal Judge Palme's ruling. Over a year elapsed while hundred of dollars have been spent by the people to have this monumental wrong righted. What is the result?)
Sentenced :
As I have said at the beginning of this article, the white people are tightening up on us. Unless I am a lunatic and Lothar Stoddard nothing, but a sensation-monger, the destiny of black peoples lies serenely in the palm of their own hands. It is for black people to decide what is to be their future.
This Jackson case illustrates a point I wish particularly to make. It shows that the spirit of the South in its most vicious form is dominant in the Virgin Islands. The Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia in sustaining the ruling of Judge Paine found Jackson guilty—guilty of what? Of the noble crime of defending his torn and beaten race against the hordes of oppression and unrightlessness. And on June 11, 1923, Jackson, fatally—foyfully, I say—began to serve his six days.
Martyrdom!
In sending Jackson to jail the U. S. authorities have made a martyr of a man whose body and soul are indisfiguably linked up with the fight for justice and freedom in Uncle Sam's Caribbean possessions. Jackson was met at the Richmond jail in St. Croix by Chief of Police Coultier, who is also Sheriff and the very man whom Jackson had defeated at the polls for re-election to the Colonial Council and, after being defeated by popular vote, was appointed over the heads of the people by Governor Howe to serve as "government member of the council." In other words, Governor Howe, disregarding every law of the electoral system, appointed a man who had been beaten at the polls back to his old position on the Colonial Council alongside his rival and successful candidate, who, in this instance, happens to be D: Hamilton Jackson. Can any one, even the most illiterate cracker from the backwoods of Tennessee, imagine a situation more revolting, more calous and contemptuous than this dasfordly perversion of one of the sacred principles of our beloved Constitution? Why, good heavens, what is the world coming to? If law upholders are our chief law-breakers, if our legislators are brushing aside as a mere "scrap of paper" the sacred Constitution of our forefathers, what is to become of us? What is the outlook for real freedom and democracy in America?
Calling Out the Marines
Word has come to us that this Mr. Chief of Police Coulter, Mr. Sheriff and Mr. Government Member of the Colonial Council, after seeing Jackson safely assigned to his "apartment" at the Richmond jail, has ordered the police to be in readiness—and the United States Marines, if necessary—to be used to put down and riotous outbreak on the part of the Negro natives, all of whom are strenuously objecting to this high-handed piece of injustice.
* "Judasse" as Usual
In this era of human endeavor it seems to be the policy of the strong to strangle and oppress the weak. In the "Virgin Islands" the people, who, under Danish rule knew of no violence, are now being branded among the most violent group anywhere. But remember, reader, only by the Crackers in the Virgin Islands. And so with all groups pen will find the Judasse who

up Golgotha heights. I hope God will remember that this very land for which Marcus Garvey rights was the land that sheltered Jesus Christ when His parents were fleeing from King Herod. I hope that God will not forget that it is the black man that is destined to bring into realization that truth In His great book of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.
But hear me you enemies of the Negro race, you have taken Marcus Garvey's physical frame from us temporarily, but we will not cease to fight until we have released him, if it takes every nickel we can get; if it takes every ounce of our energy; if it takes every bit of our courage; we are going to give it until Marcus Garvey is released. We are not going to stop at this court; we are going to the next court and then we are going to the Supreme Court, and then we are going, if need be, to the President of the United States. (Applause.)
I want to say, friends, to you tonight: Let us hold up our heads. To you good women who stood like the men during this trial; to gave of your means and of your service just like the men of this organization; to you good women whose hearts are easily touched and who broke down in tears. I want to ask you to-night to dry your tears; do not do anything to make the enemy think he has intimidated you. Do not do anything to make the enemy feel he has won a victory. I want you to hold up your heads; walk courageously through the streets of Harlem carrying a look of hope on your faces, for remember this one thing: they may jail Marcus Garvey; they may take Marcus Garvey from us, but they cannot jail Marcus Garvey's spirit that has come into our hearts. (Applause.)
Garvey Still Leading the U. N. I. A
Dry your eyes; take new courage; prepare for the greater light; for, remember that Marcus Garvey in still leading the Universal Negro Improvement Association (Applause); and as long as Marcus Garvey lives he is going to lead the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and those of us whom you have elected to help lead—those of us whom you have expressed confidence in as being the right men to carry out the desires of Marcus Garvey. I want you to know tonight that you can depend upon us to carry out Marcus Garvey's desires. I want you to know that I for one am going

about them. Tobias signed. It is true, but he knew nothing about the transactions behind the order. He obeyed the order, and it was his duty to obey and his custom to obey. The order came from the president's office and was presented to him. Stress was laid on the fact that Tobias knew nothing about the truck. As treasurer of the company it was not his duty to sell trucks or to handle matters relating to the sale of such trucks. And Tobias answered quite properly that he knew nothing of the truck and also about the mortgages. He had nothing to do with the mortgages. He knew when there was a vote passed, and he testified he knew that there was a vote passed by the board of directors to go into certain mortgages or to sell certain trucks, but he knew nothing of the actual doing of the thing itself. He simply honored the orders as made to him. It might be invited to your attention that he ought to have known more of the things that came before him, but it was enough for him to stay at his post and do the duties assigned to him and guard the money that came to him.
Tobias Wrote Nothing
Now in the testimony given here there have been numerous circulars, numerous newsapers and other printed matter attempting to show that these defendants, each one of them, caused to be printed the circulars, newspapers and other printed matter tending to deceive the public by promising something which they did not intend to live up to and which did induce people to part with their money for Black Star Line stock. I believe that nowhere in the evidence will you find anything that is any way tends to show that George Tobias ever wrote or caused to be written or printed anything of that nature. In the indictment wherein various persons are named as receiving mail through the United States postoffice — John Schenck, John Simon Scott, Smith. Sayers, Pititzman, Benny Dunny and others — there is nothing to show that George Tobias ever said or
be answered by you far-minded readers.
Unfortunately, in these days Negroes are being put to a test everywhere. Right here, as I have said above, we have had the unfortunate case of Marcus Garvey going to jail. But will that dampen the ardor of Marcus Garvey or a champion of his people? Will unfortunate circumstances such as these cause the millions of Negroes everywhere to lose confidence in their leaders? I say no!
Th. foundation has been laid, the scenery arranged—will we carry on the show? Should D. Hamilton Jackson die, should Marcus Garvey die, must this great program of Negro emancipation be stopped? I am appalling in particular to Virgin Islanders everywhere to stand fast! It is not more men that we want, but more MAN!

Cannot Be Intimidated
They need not think that they can intimidate us by falling any of us. Some one said to me last week: "Mr. Sherill, since we hear so much talk about our legions and, what we are planning to do, don't you think it would be a good idea to dispense with the legion just for a while?" I said "No; we have done nothing that is illegal; we have never done anything to sequestrate this government; we have never attempted to threaten this government; and we are not going to dispense with anything to make them feel that it has in any way daunted our frighten us by putting Marcus Garvey in jail; they may think they can spirit. They thought they could frighten us by putting any member of the Executive Council in jail; but if it takes going to jail to carry forward the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the members of the Executive Council are ready in keep company with Marcus Garvey to tomorrow morning. (Applause.)
caused to be sent any letter or circular to any one of these persons. Now as to the purchase of the steamship Kannwha, I believe it was testified by some of the witnesses that George Tobia had absolutely nothing to do with the purchase of that ship other than to draw the checks, which had been provided by a vote. He drew the checks upon orders presented to him, and that is all he had to do. That is all he could have done under the circumstances, and there is no evidence tending to show that he had any intent by so doing to defraud a single person. As to the Shadyside, he paid the check. He had nothing else to do with it.
The Phyllis Wheatley
And now we finally come down to the purchase of a steamship known by various names to be -renamed the Phyllis Wheatley. And in recounting all the acts relating to the purchase of the ship there is no testimony to show that Tobias ever took an active part in the negotiations in any way except the paying of $35,000, and that was provided for by a vote of the Board of Directors and the officers who had that matter in hand. You will remember Mr. Thompson said, when asked If Mr. Tobias had anything actively to do with the negotiations for the ship, said no; nothing else except sign checks. You will remember that Mr. Nolan thought he had seen him, and when I questioned him he could not say positively he had seen Tobias at any time. The money was paid over by Tobias in the proper way upon the proper order, and he believed, as he testified, as the other officers, as he testified, that with the acquisition of the Phyllis Wheatley all the troubles of the Black Star Line would practically be at an end. This is the ship for which cargo and passengers had already been arranged, and which would sail to Africa, with its cargo and passengers, and, who know, today the Black Star Line would be a flourishing corporation doing business and competing for trade in the seven pans. There was some evidence that passage money was received from various persons who desired to take passage to Africa, and there was evidence that in the trade department of the Black Star
Line 3: stemship accommodations were sought by these various people, and their money was taken, as required to by a string of witnesses taken, to be held upon deposit, and when the bills was acquired they were then to have passage, and if no ship was received this money was to be retarded. This evidence, I believe, was that Mr. Mason, or some one in the office of the vice-president, Mr. Thompson, or all of them—that is for you to say—received this money, and in receiving this money they gave receipts to these people for the money, therapy, pledging the Black Star Line to pay back the money. They were promised, their money back, and the testimony is that after a while this money is turned over, to the treasurer of the Black-Star Line; that money is still, some of it, in the possession of the Black Star Line, and the Black Star Line has sufficient funds, Mr. Foreman and gentlemen of the jury, to reimburse every person who has an outstanding account against them, for money so placed? I believe you will find the testimony was that Mr. Tobias never took any of this money practically from the people who put it up, but this money, after it had been collected in the office of the traffic manager, was turned over to him to be placed to the account of the Black Star Line, and when he received said money he turned a receipt over to the office of the vice-president, which receipt was shown here until which you gentlemen read.
Now, Mr. Foreman and gentlemen of the jury, I believe that carries us over all of the direct testimony bearing upon all of the ships and other ventures with which this defendant had anything to do. There is no evidence that Tobian has made over two or three trips on the road for the purpose of selling stock or ever spoke a word for that purpose. All goes to show he stood at his post like a fated soldier should do.
The question will come to you in viewing this great mass of evidence as to whether these defendants are guilty. And after His Honor shall have given you the law you will be asked to apply the law to the facts in order that you might determine if the Government has properly given you sufficient evidence to determine the guilt of this defendant Tobias or all of them. His Honor will instruct you that the Government must prove its contents, not by the weight of evidence, not by the preponderance of evidence, but that the Government must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. All its allegations must be proved to you beyond a reasonable doubt, and that does not mean—but His Honor will instruct you what a reasonable doubt is.
Cockburn's Conduct
Mr. Foreman and gentlemen of the jury, out of this maze of evidence, all these claims and counterclaims, all these witnesses, I think you will be able to determine one thing. I think you will be able to say quite fairly, as many of the Government witnesses testified, think almost all of them, at least three or four whose names are mentioned in the counts of the indictment, that they were actuated in the purchase of Black Star Line stock by the belief that the opportunity would be given to Negroes to go into business and to establish some kind of relationship with the rest of the world. To achieve this they were ready to commit sacrifices, and the few people who took this stand had stated that they wanted their money to be given back to them were people who said they were asking for their money because they were sick, but they wanted you to understand, most of them, that they had no fight with the Black Star Line. They may have some soreness with some individual, but that they still believe in the policy and the project. Here was a measure which attempted to open to a people, who had not had the opportunity before, some means of doing the most hazardous business that man can engage upon. It is not that the Black Star Line has lost, as the Shipping Board, hundred of millions of dollars. You talk about the Black Star Line steamship Yarmouth going to Boston for propaganda purposes. Why, that foraster's trip to Cuba? Mr. Foreman and gentlemen of the jury, every one knows that during the period in which the Black, Star Line was operating it was a most disastrous season for shipping, and, as was to be expected, having no experience or no knowledge of shipping, they failed. Even had they had a successful venture started and had acquired some hundreds of thousands of dollars and were able to back them up with a million more to put into ships, they could not have succeeded. Thus the Black Star Line found itself battling against all kinds of odds, not only with enemies abroad but enemies within. Cockburn said he delivered the ship, though it was no good, and he and his friends realized $8,000 on the purchase.

SAVANNAK, GREGORIA
MR. JOHNSON'S ADVICE ON
BEMHAL OF SARGCIA
Opening his address to the jury, Mr.
Johnson said he felt mighty good at
that hour. He had never felt better
in his life. After four weeks of patience
and devotion to the spirit of American
laws and institutions, they had arrived
at the point where an American jury,
like Blam or anciant, Troy, was called
upon to adjudicate without discrimination,
for in an American court,citizen
and alien should be treated alike. He
did not want to test their patience fur-
ther. This was a case all mixed up
and tangled up. But it might as well
be admitted at the outset Mr. 'Garcia,
nor nothing to do with it.
Plunging into the negotiations for the purchase of the Phyllis Wheatley, Mr. Johnson said: "Everybody agrees that if the Phyllis Wheatley had materialized, you would never have had this case. If the Phyllis Wheatley ever had materialized nobody would have been here. There never would have been a complaint. It has been a storm center about which all agitation has circled and still circles, as you have heard from the testimony of Mr. Garvey. Something like this must have been in the mind of the man who wrote that nursery pleasanty: "For the want of a nail a shoe was lost, for the want of a shoe a foot was lost, for the want of a foot a horse was lost, for the want of a rider a battle was lost—all for the want of a horse-shoe nail." (Laughter.) And the Black Star Line its lilts to the want of a Phyllis Wheatley. But for the loss of the Phyllis Wheatley Negroes would have been now captains of the sea. There would certainly have been no trouble between Cockburne and Garvey. They would have been in faraway Africa enjoying the tropical breezes." (Laughter.)
His-Honor (smiling): "It is tropical today in New York. (Renewed laughter.)
Had Nothing to Do With It
Continuing, Mr. Johnson said; "To sum up the whole of the Phyllis wheat business, Garvey had nothing to do with it. That is admitted all around. He was trying to get money to send back over here. And he got five or six thousand dollars, if the Court please. It was solely needed, Garcia

You better have ships! And they decided to tell him nothing about it but to make a great effort on their own. I can see the colored corporation saying, 'We are is trouble.' What is the matter? The Tennyson is on the discard and our hard taskmaster is coming! Get another ship. They called an executive council together and in six days $11,000 was raised. Now, gentlemen, that is some kind of response on the part of a poor people—a people, gentlemen, whose past is pliful to contemplate, but whose sun is rising, not the setting sun, whose day for everlasting memory among men is yet to come, but has not come. And why call it Phyllis Wheatley? Would you not call a daughter of yours Elizabeth Browning? You would, for she is the poet laureate of your womanhood. And so Phyllis Wheatley stands like the bright morning star, beckoning to us from the hilltop and proclaiming the moment of our opportunity. That is why we call this ship Phyllis Wheatley. She stands to us like Elizabeth Browning does to you. And so we would name our ships Toussaint L'Ouverture and.

What Did He Get?
"And when," he continued, "did Ellie Garcia have anything to do with this?" The only reason why I produced those checks of Ellie Garcia was for the sake of frankness. It is mighty seldom that a man at a time like this can give an account of his stewardship. But Ellie Garcia was able to do that. And whenever, salary he drew-he earned it. He was worth more than anybody in that corporation. He was the most intelligent. And how much did he get? It was proven by the books that he got $15 for five weeks, and that is every dollar of Black Star, Line that ever went into Ellie Garcia's hands, and that October 11, 1900, that Garcia succeeded Curie tary. What had happened before that? The Shadyside—bought, rammed and zunk. The Kanawa—hought, mortgaged, repaired, and in for a last repair, all before we got there. The Yarmouth—bought, Yas, bought a bill of sale, and, if the court please, and I believe the jury will see as a matter of law, given a bill of title." Mr. Johnson then reviewed, the transactions leading up to the purchase of the Yarmouth, submitting that the boat clearly belonged to the Black Star Line.
Ceckbourne, Lord of the Seas
Returning to Mr. Garcia's advent as an officer of the corporation, he said, "Before Garcia was ever born, take it that way, all these things happened. Bindyale come and goose, Garcia is not born yet. Kanawawha gone through a serious experience, all but lost Garcia is not born. And the Yarmouth Captain Cockbourne, lord of the seas, beautiful sea captain, the man that goes and sees a ship is old, a rotten vessel, and then comes and shamelessly awaerg to you under oath that the more the ship brings the more commission he gets. Now, Dr. Jeckl and Mr. Hyde, a modern edition, with apologies to both, and to Mr. Charles Dickens especially. Nobody in the world could believe Cockbourne in anything he said bearing on this case. The charge was that we proposed to go and buy wortles, ships and pay tabuier sums, with an arrangement that we get a bookback. But nothing from the Shibboleh, unless Smith perished blinded by the duty of this jury to recover the treason without injuring parity to anyone. Now Garcia was not born when they flashed the famous signal. We are shaking, we are drinking. And possibly both, Garcia is not born yet. Not at all.
Watkis True to His Trade
Asking the jury to bear with him while he disgraced a moment, Mr Johnson said if he had been given five days for each time he had committed contempt of court during the trial, he would be serving fifty years in jail. But they must forget that they promised to keep on the mail line when they contemplated Warlin's punishment. But contempt-plained Warlin was not a man who man was a notary public by profession. Never in his life he had not a man who solely occupation was a

nobody really liked his property but a cow-temperant who had children did not say his kid had put a bad disposition. He was full of love Sir Maxim Carvay that spilled it overloaded on Garcia. But Garcia had not arrived yet. The on yame he really arrived was with the Phillis Wheatley. He was present on the 18th of December, 1920, when Mr. Morse was at the office and went over the contract for repairing the Kanawa. And that contract started in November.
Where Is Silverstone?
"There is one thing I do not understand." Mr. Johnson, suddenly broke forth. "Why is not Silverstone here? Why is not Smith-Green here? Why is not Powell here? Why most of it is not the good Dr. Silverstone here? Explain Caesar with Caesar left out. The absence of Dr. Silverstone is awful, awful. And still it seems to touch the tender sensibilities of even my good friend the bright, brilliant, shrewd, resourceful, able, distinguished District Attorney, for every time I mentioned Dr. Silverstone's name he sang a song to me: "Take him up tenderly, lift him with care," Silverstone! "If you could put your hands on Silverstone you would put your hands on the one man that caused all these hot days of deliberation. He got $25,000 and then look at this bunch of telegrams from Silverstone to Washington, to the Shipping Board. The things we suffered! Oh, gentleman, you can have no idea what it means to be a Negro in a day like this to be a Negro in a day in and surrounded, victimized in this and that, and still going on, and respecting and obeying the laws and looking for a brighter and better day, trying to fashion ourselves for the glory of the civilization in which we live. We know that we lost every dime; but, gentleman, if not only the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but even more, man lost every dime; he had it; man lost every dime; he had taken his all and dropped it into the sea, with the belief that it would make him somebody, the consciousness that he is somebody, the consciousness that he means something to somebody, the exchange would be well and good. It would be money well spent. There is no one in this group or people but believe, deep down in his heart, that there is need for a broad industrial opportunity for his children. The black man does not live whose heart is not praying that some day, somehow, the hideous curtain of hell and hate of oppression and of a lack of opportunity will some day be lifted from the vision of his children. I am praying for mine. Every black man hopes the same. And that is what he is trying to do.
"Gentlemen, a little reflection on the history of this country will disclose the fact that the great Pennsylvania Railroad, that connects the capital of the greatest country on earth with the greatest metropolis on earth—the men who bought the first stock in this great Pennsylvania Railroad lost every dollar. Somebody had to make a sacrifice. And if you put everybody in jail that, has lost money in the last ten years there would be some very distinguished 'personal' in the land of Georgia. The Shipping Board would be there itself, the great Shipping Board with the treasure of great America behind it. The Shipping Board lost-millions of dollars running ships. And talk about propaganda, that six-day joy of the Levantian patrons into insignificance. The very 'gift' that Congress has introduced a bill, which we call the ship subsidy bill, is an admission that with all our money, Rockefeller, Roosevelt, we cannot successfully run ships unless the government gives us a helping hand, and you expect these men to perform miracles, when the greatest civilization on earth has failed. Do you expect from your black brethren more than you can do? The Black Star Line is a failure so far as money is concerned, but very successful on other lines.
Thempron Fell Among Thieves
Continuing, Mr. Johnson said the position seemed to him quite clear: Mr. Garvey went away and left the Board of Directors in charge. The Board of Directors reposed their trust in Mr. Thompson. Mr. Thompson went out and fell among the thieves. He reposed his trust in Silverstone and Nolan and Barnett and Duff. Why was not Silverstone brought to that court? Because cf frauds perpetrated on the Black Star Line the Phyllis Whettley was not obtained. Who was the fraud? Certainly not Garcia. There was no doubt that Thompson was duped by Silverstone.
Mr. Johnson neat deals with the financial report of the 20th of July, 1920, which, with the matter of the Phillips Wheatley, were the two high spots in the case. Garcin, he submitted, had nothing to do with it. Thompson was employed as an expert bookkeeper. Mr. Thompson testified that he worked on the books two days, then called in a firm of expert accountants, finding the books too much for him. That firm prepared a report, which was presented to the convention. The district attorney had that statement in his possession for a year and a half. Why did he not bring the accountants to the court? To convict Garcin the district attorney would have to show that, though that report was made on the 20th of July, 1920, Garcin knew about it from the foundation of the world, from the beginning of the Black Star Line. From the moment it was incorporated. It was not practical. When that report was being prepared Garcin was helping America win the war. The truth is there is no such thing as any conspiracy. If the indictment had been framed against the defendants for discourtesy, mismanagement or display of bad judgment they would have pleaded guilty. But that is not the charge. Personally, he had followed the testimony very carefully, and he only made that statement in so far as the innocence of one would affect the innocence of all, and

three wounds and discharged him that spared be grown more than he threw. He was not injured. He was taken to the hospital. He was taken to the defendant Garvey had not been more civil in the court than gave him, so much money. He could wish that Mr. Garvey had shown more appreciation of the unexempted patients which the court had shown him in the trial of the case. But that did not mean that Mr. Garvey was guilty of the charge. The indictment charged must be proved.

The case against the Honorable
Marcus Garvey, Elie Garcia, and
George Tobias of the Black Star Line
for alleged milieu of the United
States mails will be called some time
this month in New York. For quite
a while enemies of Marcus Garvey and
the Universal Negro Improvement
Association have been working for the
purpose of turning public sentiment
against Mr. Garvey.
Different Negro associations have been canvassing the people, asking them to testify against Mr. Garvey. They have organized opposition meetings in different centers under the caption, "Garvey Must Go." All this is being done to defeat the hopes of our race through the only real Negro movement started in the interest of this race.....

with the master of the stage ourselves and with the master of the stage ourselves. The Government has proved that the black man is tired laboring in the browns of ships and not keeping watch on the bridge. The Government has proved that we are tired of viewing Pedderwink's plight. We want to do a little thumping of our own. We don't always want to hear the songs of Caruso. We want to put a singer on the stage ourselves. We don't want to live in the glory of another race. We are trying to do a little something on our own, and if you will not help us, don't hamper us. We know you will not discourage us. This is our Court, our Judge, our jury, thank God for that. It is all dear to us as the apple of our eye. We need your help. O God, give us a chance to sail the sea, give us a chance to step with you. When we want to take a trip, we realize the ships are yours and we must take second place. Give us a chance to get ours. Let us get something ourselves. Go and get Dr. Silverstone, grab him from the nape of the neck; and say to him, 'Come here, you have wronged these colored people; you wrecked their hopes and aspirations.' For, sometimes in a business, you may have $100,000, but the lack of $150 in cash will throw you into receivership, into ruin. That was what happened to us. When we thought we had $22,500, we had $9,000. And what we now have at the Shipping Board, Silverstone is trying to take that from us. But so long as the Shipping Board lasts, neither Silverstone nor Duff nor Nolan Sam has got hold of that money and it is going to be given to those it belongs to."
